Where should I begin?
Do you judge a man by the story he spins
Or do you look at the weight of his sins?
If history repeats, tell me
What's the end?
This is a war that no one wins
But it's where life begins
Tell me, how was it worth it?
To watch them torn down, and not make a single sound
Without a sound
Who's to say we're not next?
You can only push so far until we fight back
My teeth are barred and I'm about to crack
I'm looking around and realize no one will save me
But myself
We've both felt this pain
We are one in the same
Open up your mind or you are bound to fade
Heroes are born from change
So why stay silent and complacent?
This isn't some kind of test of patience
Does it weigh on your conscience knowing
That the only one left to save you is yourself?
We both felt this pain
We are one in the same
We have long since lost the chance to stay afraid
Open up your mind or you are bound to fade
Heroes are born from change
Make your voice be heard

I am held captive within my own brain
If this keeps up then I'll surely go insane
Maybe its better off left unsaid
Or then again maybe I was better off left for dead
Is this really what you call forever?
Chalk it up as one more pointless endeavor
They say it's better to have loved and lost
But no one told me that this was the cost
Sleepless nights I lie awake in my bed
Alone with the fucked up thoughts in my head
They say it's better to have loved and lost
But no one told me that this was the cost
Sleepless nights I lie awake in my bed
Alone with the fucked up thoughts in my head
How can I take any more?
How do I keep falling long after I hit the floor?
My mind's so crowded but I feel so alone
No direction but I know I'm still far from home
I have seen the...
Seen the break of dawn
That's how I know I'm alive
They say it's better to have loved and lost
But no one told me that this was the cost
Sleepless Nights I lie awake in my bed
Alone with the fucked up thoughts in my head
They say it's better to have loved and lost
But no one told me that this was the cost
Sleepless Nights I lie awake in my bed
Alone with the fucked up thoughts in my head
My heart was ripped right out of my chest
But I still wish you nothing but the best
I've seen a glimpse of that sunrise
I will survive!
I will survive!
My heart was ripped right out of my chest
But I still wish you nothing but the best
I've seen a glimpse of that sunrise
That's how I know
I'm alive
My heart was ripped right out of my chest
But I still wish you nothing but the best
I've seen a glimpse of that sunrise
I will survive!
I will survive!
My heart was ripped right out of my chest
But I still wish you nothing but the best
I've seen a glimpse of that sunrise
That's how I know
The land of the free
The home of the brainwashed
Manipulated 'till the curtain
Call lie to my face
It can't disguise your flaws
They're only here to uphold our laws
Another casuality
Death by probable cause
How can you turn a blind eye?
Victim to another fool's paradise
Can't you see it's all in front of you?
Think for yourself
Wake up
Free your mind!
I can see your face on the silhouette you hide behind
Realize!
The truth has always been here for you to find
Cut through this bullshit disguise
The time has come to cast off your ignorance
Free your mind!
(Bounce!)
You are the product of a depraved nation
They plant the seeds you let them grow
Your whole life has been plagued by deception
That's how they keep control
They're not on your side
This world has been corrupted
And your head's been filled with lies
Justice has been abducted
When will you realize?
You've only seen the shadow play
(They're not on your side)
The naive become their prey
(They're not on your side)
This world has been corrupted
And your head's been filled with lies
Justice has been abducted
They're not on your side
Everything you think you know is shadow play
