Awake is a guitar and drum driven song about losing someone you love and the feeling of helplessness. Bass, pianos and textures add to the beautiful melodies and harmonies from vocalists Finn and Esh that leave a glimmer of hope.



If I could see you one more time 
I'd ask you to spend the day here 
Run my fingers down your spine 
Keep me company while I lay here 

In this hospital bed 
We'll fit just right 
Your head by my head 
Would you stay the night 
Please just stay awake 
Please just stay awake with me 
Please just stay awake 
Please just stay awake with me 

If I could keep you by my side 
We'd fight away all the cancer 
Still remember how much we cried 
Feels like I'm numb without you 

In this hospital bed 
We'll fit just right 
Your head by my head 
Would you stay the night 
Please just stay awake 
Please just stay awake with me 
Please just stay awake 
Please just stay awake with me 

You closed your eyes one last time 
Taken by the fear 
We said our last goodbyes 
I'll keep your company you lay here 

You're staying, that's harder 
But you're place is here 
Come follow me under 
Underneath the stairs 
Let's play would you rather 
Tell me if you care 
We'll stay with each other 
You'll be safe I swear 
You've paid the man 
Now get aboard 
I'm on my way 
It's the easy course 
And so I'll sail 
Without a boat 
Until I catch up 
And we sink like stones 

In this hospital bed 
We'll fit just right 
Your head by my head 
Would you stay the night 
Please just stay awake 
Please just stay awake with me 
Please just stay awake 
Please just stay awake with me

Awake

Chilled guitars swell throughout Little Brother, a strong drumbeat carries the tune along & retrospective lyrics on lost innocence dance around a catchy melody.

LYRICS

Curl up little brother
They'll fight amongst each other
It's dark
No help is on its way
He'll kill her if we stay

Don't cry now little brother
Just wait here for mother
It's done
Let's turn the other way
Let's run until its day

Fall this way forever
Until we fall
Until we fall 
in place together
My hand in yours
My hand in yours

Cheer up little brother
One after another
They come
Born to be the same
The sequence stars again

You the wolf of this earth
This is how they make 'em
Teeth to pull hearts to hurt
Turn around and just run
Won't you show me what it's worth
Pretend that you're someone
Soon you'll learn how it works
Like father like son
You the wolf of this earth
This is how they make 'em
Teeth to pull hearts to hurt
Turn around and just run
Won't you show me what it's worth
Pretend that you're someone
Soon you'll learn how it works
Like father like son

You are the reason 
That it’s all broken 
Stick it together
But it's not made for that
I'm not so sorry
That you're not with me
Piece it together
But it's to late for that

Fall this way forever
Until we fall
Until we fall 
in place together
My hand in yours
My hand in yours
