Maybe it is dangerous to invite to invite a stranger into the room with us But nothings gonna light up and I'm not scared at all When there's no more money in politics They'll be tearing down the unity brick by brick There'll be city's running clinics about where we have been With every self proclaimed historian You know I know you don't want this you don't need this I'm Shining the light on the darkest places You know and I know we have to face this now We have to face this now The days are growing dark what are we gonna do The countrys in a bag when I turn on the tube So maybe I'll just wake up in the afternoon(whoa) You can change the channel on your tv Push all the little buttons till your fingers bleed But you won't change me(whoa) There's nothing I would do for you cause you don't wanna see You know I know you don't want this you can't dismiss Shining the light on the darkest places You know and I know we have to face this now We have to face this now Shining the light on the darkest places Putting the word out we have to face this now We have to face this now A generation taking numbers making calls A shadow grew accross my bedroom wall Shining the light on the darkest places You know and I know we have to face this now We have to face this now Shining the light on the darkest places Putting the word out We have to face this now

This moment marks the severing of senses Comatose distinctions The gathering of flies on a irrational mind Filled with broken conviction I've seen how lies take form in your eyes Your suspicious ways followed a hollow gaze You fucking left me to rot But one day you'll see firsthand how I've paid for your biggest mistake Sound the surrender Embraced in vain What will you gain from this What will you lose Secrets hidden behind your back Your silence, it serenades deceit Secrets hidden behind your back Your forever ideal fantasy Sound the surrender Embraced in vain What will you gain from this What will you lose This moment marks the severing of senses Comatose distinctions The gathering of flies on a irrational mind Filled with broken conviction Sound the surrender You have gained all You could from this Sound the surrender But you've lost the only one

You are the only one with ability to turn this tide With capacity to learn the truth and burn the lies That signalize our disgust So come with me, I'll be your doomsayer And show you everything That you'll never see Behind borrowed eyes You're living in the end You're not alone Decrepit monuments sit on their own thrones The crushing weight Relentless in its pull Resist! Or be diluted with the rest All we are, Leads us to inherent insurgence It leads you to deceive yourself When you believe you've been bled dry And aren't you sick of waiting Waiting for nothing Facilitating all your demons Staring at the sun I watched it rise and collide With this dream where I had stopped Living in the past Stopped living with that crash/burn longing It'll pass It brings you to your knees Reliving that same nightmare where you realize. You are the only one with ability to turn this tide With capacity to learn the truth and burn the lies That signalize our disgust So come with me, I'll be your doomsayer And show you everything That you'll never see Behind borrowed eyes And who can save you, Not their gods and not their masters And who will free you, Look in the mirror So come with me, I'll be your doomsayer And show you everything That you'll never see Behind borrowed eyes

When you're burnt out and weak, when you're torn down to your knees. Is there anybody out there? When there's vultures at your back, the light is dying now. Is there anybody out there? When you're lost in your head, when you feel like you're dead. Is there anybody out there? I heard whispers of your voice. I awoke to the call. From my conscience recalling. The past several years (the past several years) I thought I had control, but as time takes its toll, this is only the beginning. Is there anybody out there? Is there anybody out there? When you're burnt out and weak, when you're torn down to your knees. Is there anybody out there? When there's vultures at your back, the light is dying now. Is there anybody out there? I'll have my words cut deep within the stone. Locked away forever safe and never to be shown. I'll sacrifice every single bone to protect the lessons learned, my worth I'll take the throne! Is there anybody out there? I'll have my words cut deep within the stone. Locked away forever safe and never to be shown. I'll sacrifice every single bone to protect the lessons learned, my worth I'll take the throne! When you're broken, when you're weak, when you're torn down to your knees, when there's vultures at your back, the light is dying now. You are only as strong as the army that stands behind you. You are only as strong as the army that follows your lead. When you're burnt out and weak, when you're torn down to your knees. Is there anybody out there? When there's vultures at your back, the light is dying now. Is there anybody out there? When you're lost in your head, when you feel like you're dead. Is there anybody out there?

Lies can hurt and lies can burn. But lying to me means you never learn. From your mistakes we can see that you're fake. And you never learn and you never learn. You know that I know. I can tell from your head to your toes. You can't keep secrets. I can tell from the look on your face. You can't keep secrets. Strung out, with my eyes wide open. Too many words unspoken. And I will take this to my grave. Cut the life from me, now take me away. Secrets can hurt and secrets can burn. But the secrets I've kept are none of your concern. And will you ever learn? And will you ever learn? You know that I know. I can tell from your head to your toes. You can't keep secrets. I can tell from the look on your face. You can't keep secrets. I told you right from the start that this was none of your concern. The writings on the wall and that's another lesson learned. Here I am to make a stand and show the world just who I am. Here I am to say to you. Not everything you hear is true. Take me away from this evolution. Take me away from this evolution. You know that I know. I can tell from your head to your toes. You can't keep secrets. I can tell from the look on your face. You can't keep secrets

Life's path untold to all who walk the frayed and windy road. Ghosts from the past rise up to haunt their weak and empty soul. Stick in the sand to mark out our legacy, cut short by the unknown. Tides rise above you now, washed away, not yet fully grown. Deceive me, this life was torn away. Retrieve all the things that make this a better day! Just once now, I'd like to say, retrieve all the things that make this a better day! Growing up was the time of our lives, every day we watch the world go by. We were raised to be kings. Never fearing the vicious lullaby. Blinded by fate and virtue, watching life get torn from our arms, I'm standing, waiting now. Life's warrior bound to be disarmed. Deceive me, this life was torn away. Retrieve all the things that make this a better day! Just once now, I'd like to say, retrieve all the things that make this a better day! My story falls on deaf ears. The glory stalled for all these years. My candle burnt, the light appears. In death we see truth, twisted tale of sweetened memories. What I'd give to have you back here standing next to me. The unknown beast of fate, the vicious one casts out one last cry. I know you're watching me, the eagle soars until the last one dies. Deceive me, this life was torn away. Retrieve all the things that make this a better day! Just once now, I'd like to say, retrieve all the things that make this a better day!

We are bringing the system down. Light the fire. Watch the flames spread. Take a step back it burns brighter. And I know what you're thinking. But it leads to nowhere. There's a reason you took the wrong path. It's for power. It's for glory. A statistic of the same story. And I know what you're thinking. But it gets you nowhere. I'm falling away. I think I'm falling away from you. I'm burning inside. I feel like I can't escape the truth. I've got my reasons. Why I fight back. And I need you. We need to pay back the system For everything that they put us through. They try to teach us how to be. They spread their poison to you and me can't you see. We were born free. Cold air seeps into your skin. And I know why I'm standing here. I know why I'm still here. We're not giving up. We're not giving up. Can you hear me now? Fuck the system. Burn it down. We pray for wings to set us free. We pray. We pray. Set me free. I pray for wings to set me free. I pray for wings to set me free. I'm falling away. I'm falling away from you. I'm falling away. I think I'm falling away from you. I'm burning inside. I feel like I can't escape the truth.
