This is our city of the dead Another life holds its weary head We hope, we try, we live, survive Counting days, trying to get by Waiting for the calling Anticipation in the air We hope and dream of difference City sleeping, unaware Break the silence, wake the dead Running through these streets alone I'll kick and scream, let's break this hold 'Cause I swear, that this won't render useless I promise you, we've come this far And I'm not stopping, I'm not stopping now Enough hiding in shadows Wake up, send out this message, it's clear You said, you said, you said This time was gonna be different Wake up the dead You said, you said, you said This time was gonna be different Wake up the dead Coming alive, something stirs inside This isn't over yet Shake off the dirt Swallow regret Stop living under the weight Living under the weight of regret Your regrets Don't lose hope Your regrets Don't lose hope Don't let it happen to you Don't lose hope Which side are you gonna choose? 'Cause I believe, I believe it's in you Rise! We said, we said, we said This time was gonna be different Wake up the dead We said, we said, we said This time was gonna be different Wake up the dead We said, we said, we said This time was gonna be different Wake up the dead We said, we said, we said This time was gonna be different Wake up the dead

Adamant, adamant. Tunnel vision view. Wasn’t gonna pull the plug, had to see it through What a bright idea that wouldn’t quit. Somewhat empty but I took a healthy sip Then I tripped when it got harder to see in over my head and now it’s hanging over me I’ve only made things worse today And everyone, everything’s in my way Adding insult to injury. Are you happy, are you happy now? Can I tip the scale? Well maybe I’m just bound to fail Adding insult to injury. Are you happy, are you happy now? Adamant, adamant. Tunnel vision view Backed up in a corner; Now I’m stuck because I should know better Take the wrap, suck it up because I should know better Sad to say, couldn’t make the connection A lot of build up, but it only took a second to bring this whole thing down Backed up in a corner now I’m stuck Adamant, adamant. Tunnel vision view Backed up in a corner, now I’m stuck because I should know better Take the wrap, suck it up because I should know better

Where have you gone? How does time pass by so fast Seems like yesterday You and I We could relate But you know how things change (things change) But is it me? Or is it time? Now I'm stuck looking back On something that I'll never have again All this time with regret I just lost today Worrying about yesterday All this time with regret I just lost today Worrying about yesterday Can't live, can't live, can't live yesterday Can't live in yesterday Can't live in yesterday Can't live in yesterday All this time with regret I lost today Worrying about yesterday I lost today And no I'll never forget about you I lost today I just came to terms I've lost you On with my life On with my life On with my life On with, on with my life

You told me once, back at it again always the same with it, I can’t stop you Well maybe it’s true for you, but I’m not seeing it. You wanna live with it, but I’ve got no room Well maybe it’s true for you, and I won’t stop you Give me some space to breathe, ’cause I’ve got no room Well maybe it’s true for you, and I can’t stop you Give me some space to breathe, ’cause I can’t rest here with you I’ve gotta be reasonable but it’s all become too predictable I’m letting it ride, but I’m not losing sleep. This future is not up to you Rise up for the innocent. Tried it on but it didn’t fit Guard down, there’s a subtle flame .Subtle moment to have your say Lining up opposite of me. What a moment of clarity, a shining moment to say…For what? I know, so what! I’m not about it, you can have it I’ve gotta be reasonable but it’s all become too predictable I’m letting it ride, but I’m not losing sleep. This future is not up to you I’m not losing sleep Rise up for the innocent. Tried it on but it didn’t fit Guard down, there’s a subtle flame. Subtle moment to have your say

Follow them, bowing out, throw me the flag, I'll take the opportunity Stuck in the moment, I'd pay the price if there's a possibility I've been caught in the standards, dragged it through the gutter And what I left there doesn't mean a thing Follow them, bowing out, I'll pay the price if there's a possibility I won't stay here, I won't stay here I won't stay here, I've got to make the most of mine Now we hold the key and no doubt we always have Don't you remember telling me that there's a lifetime to make these mistakes And when it's almost over, we'll wish we would've made more Yeah, when the storm is over, we'll wish we would've made more I won't stay here, I won't stay, I'll take the opportunity Flat out I'll stick it out, senses awake, accept responsibility Taking it farther, I'll weed right through the clutter What's left behind there doesn't mean a thing Follow them, bowing out, I'll pay the price if there's a possibility Never easy to mend when all the pieces stand so far away Well, I've been spending a long time looking in Feel the pulse and it's aggravating Push and pull while the concept stays And I can't get a peace of mind and my head keeps racing And I can't get a peace of mind and my head keeps racing (racing) I fear my options running out Why isn't it getting easier to cope (to cope) without (without)? To cope (to cope) without (without)? And I can't get a peace of mind and my head keeps racing (racing) Inventory, I throw it away I'd rather mistakes. I'd rather not stay I won't stay here, I won't stay if there's a possibility I won't stay here, I won't stay if there's a possibility I won't stay here, I won't stay, I'll take the opportunity I won't stay here, I won't stay, I'll take the opp-, the opportunity

Stormy summer day is in the way of all the could’ve been's and should’ve been's How do you anticipate this distorted tragedy Things like this don’t just go away, things like this tear your family And I admit I can’t relate, believe me I won’t walk away ’Cause when the circumstance holds you back Lower the line Harness, focus Your broken vessel When you paint that picture When you’re all shook up Harness, focus ’Cause you know it won’t die in your sleep You finally said it out loud Stormy summer day is in the way of all the could’ve been's and should’ve been's How do you anticipate this distorted tragedy Maybe you’re not dead though this could be the end of your world But this door isn’t sealed the black hole might tear if you fight And I’ma be around until you see the light of day Until you see the light of day Until you see the light of day Until you see the light of day I can see your pain I don’t see you shaded in a different light
