The rush now coming in Brace yourself it's hard hitting On and on it's here to make a statement in your heart so face it You're maxed out but the tops not coming You can't stop that heart from thumping All around the crowd is bumping now it's time to get that pulse racing Run out of excuses and lose control Run out of excuses and find your soul Let the sound consume you And shed all your pain You'll find this peace surrounds you So bright always been inside you Let the sound consume you And shed all your pain You'll find this peace surrounds you So bright always been inside you Break from the things that hold me down On to the things that make me sound Close to the universe's call on my soul Call it what you want But nothing comes close To the warmth of this mountain's glow Let the sound consume you And shed all your pain You'll find this peace surrounds you So bright always been inside you Let the sound consume you And shed all your pain You'll find this peace surrounds you So bright always been inside you

Broke in to the cell I was held in Did your best, saw the pain I'd been holding Then you called me your best friend No one knows all the things that we've seen in the whole world but we somehow still beat them You showed me not to be hopeless Pulled me from the dark Always showed me from the start, you gave your word You weren't being fake, you knocked on wood I never thought you could From the lies I'd heard And how many people could but never would Lost track of the knives pulled from my back Now I sit here and laugh We stole the master plan Got back all the things we wanted And how we never lost it, screams a testament to our family bonds unbroken We stole the master plan Got back all the things we wanted And how we never lost it, screams a testament to our family bonds unbroken We're still not broken Like eagles soaring We're still not broken Like eagles Backing down is just not our style We're holding it down when nobody else would Come on I'll let you right in Come on lets watch them unravel Come on we've got common ground They'll see how far we're over them now Come on I'll let you right in Come on lets watch them unravel Come on we've got common ground They'll see how far we're over them now We stole the master plan Got back all the things we wanted And how we never lost it, screams a testament to our family bonds unbroken We stole the master plan Got back all the things we wanted And how we never lost it, screams a testament to our family bonds unbroken

Burning outs been my problem Since I saw how quick that you solved it And I swore my place was a seat in the house Next to the best of the best (Guess I was wrong) Whats a fire if you're freezing? And how long did it take it relieve it? I don't think I could do what you did to fit in When you sold your soul to the heathens I found a way out but it still haunts my house How much I never knew And how much I'll never know I hate it Oh I hate it

I never said I cared You taught me a lesson How to never give you a reason to come around and show me the act that you play so well The problems you made And how many times you faked your empty words I lost the touch to show you love Cause you never could Stop ringing in my head That whole time I believed you wanted All that I could give But you never wanted to be honest Always in my head The whole time I thought you wanted So much I could give But you couldn't give me a promise I've fallen asleep now and I can't wake from this nightmare Will you ever care if I climb out or stay here forever? Will I ever thank you even in my dreams Wondering if I was the one to leave there bitter Does it make you the winner? Stop ringing in my head That whole time I believed you wanted All that I could give But you never wanted to be honest Always in my head The whole time I thought you wanted So much I could give But you couldn't give me a promise I've lost my senses to see All those intricate things so free And though I've kept the drive to move on I can't help thinking that I'll be last Don't let me be last I Can't think what'd be worse Please don't let me be last I'm so chained by these words Stop ringing in my head That whole time I believed you wanted All that I could give But you never wanted to be honest Always in my head The whole time I thought you wanted So much I could give But you couldn't give me a promise

Falling faster This roller coaster comes loose crushing you I hate that I had to put this on you Trust me you're not the only one who wants out too Be still while we sew this into the fire deep inside you Watch how it haunted you This crutch always bleeding through You rode that ride too often So black and full of poison You snapped back but it's grasp on you Was too tight wouldn't let you through There's no way out once you've gotten Hooked on this violent venom You paint the darkest pictures Still I hung them on my wall Your face is so distorted Still I sought the same reflection On and on we fall into these holes We're so wrong And back and forth we've walked the same old roads They're so cold It's my fault I'm a pitiful excuse of what you call soul I got lost in the midst of the current, I can't find my way back home It's my fault I'm a pitiful excuse of what you call soul I got lost in the midst of the current, I can't find my way back home Run from your crutches Into the arms of purpose Watch out for the serpents Who dig their claws in your heart and curse it They paint the darkest pictures Still you hang them on your wall Their faces so distorted Still you seek the same reflection On and on we fall into these holes We're so wrong And back and forth we've walked the same old roads They're so cold Break out of this curse it's got you down but you've got hope it won't get worse Stay out of what defeats you Stay away from what destroys you It will consume you

I can tell now how you felt when all the pain rushed down from the ceiling And it caught you off guard got you broken now Then you fainted from the weight of the world Fell back on the streets no safety chord Came and stole all the things made you whole It took all control When there's nothing you can do and all this takes over you Dig in your feet like a warrior When there's nothing you can do and all this takes over you Dig in your feet you're a warrior Claim back your world now Stand up don't back down Can't make it work less you believe Look up and see Face them head on now Stand up don't back down Can't make it work less you believe Look up and see Ask yourself, whats this for Fight for the ones who can no more Breaking down the walls that hold us back Cause we're strong Still lost in this feeling But getting close to relieving The shame that towers you when you're down And all this doubt can't keep you down when you stand strong and hold your ground This solid pulse won't let you float down south And you know this now When there's nothing you can do and all this takes over you Dig in your feet like a warrior When there's nothing you can do and all this takes over you Dig in your feet you're a warrior Claim back your world now Stand up don't back down Can't make it work less you believe Look up and see Face them head on now Stand up don't back down Can't make it work less you believe Look up and see Look up and see Do you believe? Look up and see Do you believe? Ask yourself, whats this for? Fight for the ones who can no more Breaking down the walls that hold us back Cause we're strong like that Asking now, whats this for? Fighting cause they can no more Breaking down what holds the whole world back Cause we're strong like that We're strong So strong We're unning to face it Not running away from it We're running to face it Not running away from it Claim back your world now Stand up don't back down Can't make it work less you believe Look up and see Face them head on now Stand up don't back down Can't make it work less you believe Look up and see

You're hoping it's not written in stone Cause God knows this failure It's complacent and it's cold No one Knows Don't dip your feet in where all hell comes off it's leash and you're boat Is sinking And by the time it takes to swim out you're forgotten Come take this bait I wrapped it special for you Don't make me wait It's not a poison to you We've got nowhere to be And you've got the time to see Wait here with me (It's just like meditating) Don't you believe (This light so mesmerizing) Don't fight this high it's only A guide here to show you slowly How much love surrounds you They painted a portrait So dark inside like torment But it's fine, I swear you're alright Now It's time to tell this isn't hell It's in belief that forms your cell And now you've got the skills to crawl outside And make it alright You're hoping it's not written in stone Cause God knows this failure It's complacent and it's cold No one knows You thought no one cared about your hopeless heart Here offering you a brand new start Soul pressed and weary from this lonely road Come in close You're not the only one who's stuck in the past And full of regrets We make an army of one and we're here cause we're done With this sad desperate run Come on up and Wait here with me (It's just like meditating) Don't you believe (This light so mesmerizing) Don't fight this high it's only A guide here to show you slowly How much love surrounds you
