lyrics

Sing this loud hit it close to home/
Hold it out so these words are strong/
Tear it down now these walls can’t show/
Take my hand when you’re loosing hope/

Lying on my bedroom floor/ Eyes swollen shut/
Scared of the world outside/ Cut from all technology/
Connected to only myself inside these walls I feel I’m in too deep/
I’ve been in here far too long darling this world is killing me/

Who am I but a stranger/ What must I do so you believe what I’m saying/
If talk is cheap/ I’ve already been defeated before I begin to speak/
Or even start to breathe/
It’s a tragedy what we’ve come to be and I think sometimes I’m the one to blame/
We hear screaming hearts bleeding out but turn just to walk away/
Like there is no pain/
Why hurt each other we hurt ourselves enough/
Lets give tonight a break and forget ourselves/
These fragile hands cannot hold this weight so please take my hand and please hold the same/
Conforming to stand out is still a group in it’s own/
And hope without the “e” is just jumping alone/
These thoughts without a feeling is an opinion with no meaning so stand tall and fall hard/ Cause it’s better than not believing/
