Break down your walls tonight We're here to sing for you Tear down your walls tonight We're here to scream for you! Break down your walls tonight We're here to sing for you Tear down your walls tonight We're here to scream for you! Cold as ice on the darkest December Spark a flame from a small burning ember Trapped inside of this prison made of mirrors As I wait for that spark to ignite me Try to break through these walls that surround me I'm trapped inside of this prison made of mirrors I look to the sky, but my walls keep building higher I'm surrounded by creations, I Need to feel alive I look to the sky, but the answers all around me Oh, I don't know why I have to try To take hold of my life Oh, the worst part of all Is I'm the one who holds the key Prison of my mind Only purpose sets me free And I have no purpose at all I'm floating and hoping for something to come break my fall I've lost my mind, I've lost it all Now repeat after me: I walk, I breathe, I live a lie I walk, I breathe, I live a lie I walk, I breathe, I live a lie I walk, I breathe, I live a lie

It's probably just the things I do That make me vital for you There's a breaking point in us all Explore the world we must Time's just too short for the best of us Before death comes I will be There for you Even through Thick and thin I will never fall When hope is lost And now I see The hour hand moving faster and faster Our time is running out Move quick or never remember Open your eyes and you'll see It's probably just the things I do That make me vital for you There's a breaking point in us all Explore the world we must Time's just too short for the best of us Before death comes Take me away Away from here Because everyday Is turning into years With every moment I feel deeper and deeper My heart's a sinking ship And now I see The hour hand moving faster and faster Our time is running out Move quick or never remember Open your eyes and you'll see It's probably just the things I do That make me vital for you There's a breaking point in us all Explore the world we must Time's just too short for the best of us Before death comes Life's just too short to go and throw it away It's all we have, let's make the best of today And now I see The hour hand moving faster and faster It's probably just the things I do That make me vital for you There's a breaking point in us all Explore the world we must Time's just too short for the best of us Before death comes It's probably just the things I do That make me vital for you There's a breaking point in us all Explore the world we must Time's just too short for the best of us Before death comes Oh shit

This is your time Your life's flashing before your eyes And soon enough you will realize This is goodbye But what if I gave you a chance? You just have to sell your soul Look around, what do you see? The choices you never had the guts to make I'm sorry you never could be, the man that you wanted But regret is wasted on me! I can feel air inside my lungs again All because of you I can rebuild my life and start again All because of you This feeling's amazing, I know But be careful, you know not what you wish for Granted life again but now you've cheated death There's nowhere to run when you run from yourself! But fear not for as long as you live you are mineAnd even in death you will find You've lived with regret for so long But now is your chance to change what has been wrong! I can feel air inside my lungs again All because of you I can rebuild my life and start again All because of you And I know that my destiny wasn't written in the stars It was just a part of satellites and it's all because of you And it's all because of you! Oh god, why, why's this happening? Don't ever trust the devil, bitch! I never wanted this (It's time that you suffered the consequence) I should have know my time was up (I gave you your time, now your soul is mine) I can't feel air inside my lungs, I'm dead... All because of, you! All because of you! I can't feel air inside my lungs, I'm dead! All because of you! I can't rebuild my life or start again All because of, you! All because of you! All because of

The voices inside my head are taking over They're telling me that my life is in danger I'm scared that the silence won't come back forever I believe this is my darkest hour I pray Over and over again That this won't be my end I still have a long life to live I'm begging you, begging you I can't remember the last time That I said goodbye, or that I even tried I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive I hope this isn't my last night As I lose my mind, and try to save my life I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive It's just too much to handle I feel myself turn into stone Desperate, as the voices linger There's nothing left for me, please save my soul I'm running out of time I can feel the words crawling down my spine I'm running out of time (I can't remember the last time) I can't remember the last time That I said goodbye, or that I even tried I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive I hope this isn't my last night As I lose my mind, and try to save my life I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive Take my hand Don't let me fade away Don't let me fade away Don't let me die today Take my hand I'll pray for you today I beg to see another day Don't let me die today Take my hand Don't let me fade away Don't let me fade away Don't let me die today Take my hand I'll pray for you today I beg to see another day Don't let me die today, die today I can't remember the last time That I said goodbye, or that I even tried I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive I hope this isn't my last night As I lose my mind, and try to save my life I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

This world keeps pushing down upon me And I keep hoping for a sweet dream There's something left for me to see There's something left for me to be We can't ponder on this world forever You know we can save it, if together Growing, day by day to make it But my time's been wasted And while my eyes are open wide, I'm sound asleep on the inside Wake me up, from this dream that never ends Haunting me, haunting me till my bitter end Wake me up, from this nightmare that I live Something inside of me keeps on giving in Well I keep searching for an answer But time will never tell, and you will never know My choices are my own, but I can't choose where I call home This life's not carved in stone, this life has left me on my own And while my eyes are open wide, I'm sound asleep Wake me up, from this dream that never ends Haunting me, haunting me till my bitter end Wake me up, from this nightmare that I live Something inside of me keeps on giving in Wake me up I'm wide awake I'm not afraid anymore I'm wide awake It's you who helped me win this war Wake me up, from this dream that never ends Haunting me, haunting me till my bitter end Wake me up, from this nightmare that I live Something inside of me keeps on giving in Wake me up, from this dream that never ends Haunting me, haunting me till my bitter end Wake me up, from this nightmare that I live Something inside of me keeps on giving in

This song goes out to everyone whose felt broken Who searched for the answer and was left in the dark This is for you Stand up, oh! I will never be afraid You shot me once, I'm still standing I will never dig my grave You shot me once, I'm still standing; And every part of me keeps screaming "Get on with your life, and start by leaving." I'm trying to heal these wounds but I'm still bleeding (I'm trying to heal these wounds but I'm still bleeding) I've run out of all that I was (all, I, was) I've searched for the meaning and ended up lost But I see the light at the end of the road And it's guiding me (and it's guiding me) Guiding me home (guiding me home) I know, I no longer must walk through this world alone; I know, I no longer must walk through this world alone; We must resist to be a part of their insolence; We must start the resistance; Follow no one; I've run out of all that I was, and I'm searchin' For the meaning and ended up lost; But I see light at the end of the road It's guiding me home where I'll heal all that has left me bleeding While their words still burn These scars are another lesson learned; You live your life so disconnected As you sit there mighty in your fucking little throne; I'll see to it that all your walls crumble; I'll tear it down stone by stone; Bow down! I will not kneel before you! Bow down! You're never gonna wear my crown! You shot me once, but I'm still here! You shot me once, but I'm still here! This is for those who've seen the light We must rise, we're limitless tonight! And though the sun may never shine, we must know We're limitless tonight! This is for those who've seen the light We must rise, we're limitless tonight! And though the sun may never shine, we must know We're limitless tonight! We're limitless tonight! We're limitless tonight We're limitless tonight It's time for destruction

It's not quite a mystery I'm the one who's insecure You're the one that makes believe That we're all okay, we're doing fine When we're both fighting just to stay To stay alive A fragile state of mind That I can't quite survive Without a doubt, I need your help I know you've heard me ask before But come on girl, I need to tell you now I know what I've done wrong The only way out of here is the way I've avoided for all my life There's so many things I wanna say But there's too many things still in the way I'm lost, please help me find my place You're the only one, please lead me out of the dark Please lead me out of the dark Please lead me out of the dark I'm moving on, I'll promise change If you will let me in again, I swear today I'll be a better man I'll be who I was then It's been a long two years I can't change the past I've shed so many tears Can't believe I've lasted this long I see now that I'm wrong The only way out of here is the way I've avoided for all my life There's so many things I wanna say But there's too many things still in the way I'm lost, please help me find my place You're the only one, please lead me out of the dark Please lead me out of the dark
