We stood by the riverside, mapped out a plan to take over the world. I see you through tired eyes, you're blurry but god you're still beautiful. We'll make our own way in this life, we didn't need you then, I don't need you now. You never made a sacrifice, what goes around comes back around. You know we're gonna be okay, you know I'm with you all the way. If it all falls down I promise you I'll stay. We may be young but we've got grace, we may be lost but I've got faith. Faith in us and all the choices that we made. We stood by the riverside, watched as the whole world all fell apart. Every brick that drops tonight, will only strengthen our resolve. Dive in head first, this time I've got your back. We're armed and ready, ready to attack. If we fall, we'll fall together...

Citizens of earth, what do you see? I see a broken machine that doesn't nothing for me. Citizens of earth, what do you know, about the world we love hold so close? We're no better, we're all enablers. The world we know. We need to start again. The world we know. And try to reinvent. The world we know. Ourselves as better men. The world we know. Is better left for dead. Citizens of earth, it's time to make a stand. Push them back, bring this world to the ground. Citizens of earth, this is a call to arms. It's time for us to grow and show who we are. Citizens of earth, make your move. We got a long way to go and a lot to prove.

There is a ghost of you tearing heart into, haunting every beat. You're in a better place, I can't forget your face while you prowl through my dreams. I hope one day you'll see, the marks you've left on me. So if I could, I'd give you up, but every time that I try you bring me down me down to my knees. I know I should, but if I could, I'd have you stood by my side facing the fire with me. Now I see clearly that in hindsight, I really took the wrong fork in the road. I'll always wonder, if we had just another chance how far we could go? I hope one day you'll see, the scars you've left on me. I know I'm better off. But are you curious, are you curious? I know it's much too late. For apologies, but I'm so sorry.

Ten thousand years here and look, nothings changed. All we've done is just find different ways, to fight each other and to instigate another wars that's down to race or faith. Ten thousand years and we've not learnt a thing, still fighting battles that we'll never win, we've overthrown our queens and killed our kings, trading our morals just to live in sin. Honestly you're telling me that this is not your fault? I can't believe that you believe that you can be absolved. Imagine if we ruled the world, we only had just one more chance. What would we do with all that power? We'd build a future that would last. Ten thousand years and yet we're still not free. From putting faith in plans that we can't see. We think we're anchored but we're lost at sea. Fighting the current while we try to breathe. Won't you tell me that you feel the same. You'll stand by me and help change our fate, don't ever let me go tell me you'll stay. And keep on fighting till the end of days.

I wanna bleed till I'm dry. Draw you from my veins. I wanna rip out my eyes. Everything I see is stained. I wanna breathe in fire. Smoke you out from the inside. You're all fucking liars. Because of you I cant sleep at night Soon you'll be dust or I will if not. I pray for the latter with the history I've got. We're not, we're not ever backing down. We won't ever let you rule this town. We'll stand and make our voices count. For all the times we lost out. Verse 2 I wanna re-wire my brain. Flip the switch thats keeping me sane. I wanna just let go. Make friends with knives and be out of control. I wanna see the light. But there's so much hate inside my eyes. I loath this place. We should nuke it and vaporise every trace. I wish I could digitise every second and press delete. I wish I could travel in time and make sure we never meet. I really wish I meant any of this

I've only just begun to feel like I'm alive. If this is how it ends, I'll set fire to the skies. Prayers are useless now, yet words fall from my tongue. We're bathed in friendly fire, we'll never know who's wrong. One minute left to go, I'll savour every breath. The ghosts of you and me, I'll try and put to rest. The clock is ticking down, the battle lines are drawn. One night left in our arms, until we end this war. With seconds left I know, there will be blood tonight. We will turn to ash, if we reach the other side. The fallout fills my lungs, I stand here on my own. The winter has begun, I'm freezing in the snow. And when the smoke has cleared, maybe we will see. We had to burn it all, the ashes set us free.

I was a man of faith. What the fuck happened to that? You've torn down walls you've opened doors. And now I cant turn back. We're falling through the sky tonight. But I've got dreams to keep alive. I can't run away with you. Take me against my will. I just look in your black eyes. Searching for the answers, hidden in their lies. And now I've come to realise. We don't need a reason to look up to the skies. I used to live right by All the rules that you had gave. But I've learned of values not etched in stone. I'm a whole new breed of slave. You found a way inside. You found a way to make me feel alive.

We're paper thin and fragile. I can break you, you can break me. You've got spies and allies. I'll evade them you wont catch me. I know we've both got secrets. Don't expose it, don't expose it. Exhale your lies so I can breath them in. And keep them deep inside my skin. Show me, show me, show me, how you want things to be. Cos you're not, you're not, you're not communicating with me. Tonight I wanna run to the edge. I'll fall into the sun, and forget. That we are not alone. I know that that we'll be fine tomorrow Tonight we're headed for disaster. We've been here before but no matter. Even as I go. I know that we'll be fine tomorrow. A blue print for disaster. We're already doomed by pure design. This was never gonna work. The parts are useless and worn from time. A complicated reason, simplified to nothing but. A tiny little demon, whispering to have some fun. Why can't you, why can't I, why can't we. Get out? On your knees, on my knees, I can't breathe. Get out! We're so close to the end it's almost. Here now. One more time, one more try, one more lie. Get out. Why can't we? Why can't we? Why can't we? We're so close! We're so close! We're so close!

You could have been something if you had tried. That was they always said. Why don't you grow up and just realise. Those dreams are better left in your head. Some people fall through the cracks. Some people choose not to fight back. I'll never ask what if, If I've done all that I can. Even if i'm on my knees, with the shards of my dreams, right here in my hands. At the end of day, I know that i can say. I did all this in my own way. Don't ever take a of leap faith that size. That was what they said to me. But I've been living life without compromise. Yeah I got the drive to succeed. Some people waste life away. Some people live day to day. I've left all their words so far behind. I'll write my own destiny. While they've all been out there just settling. I've been running round free.
