lyrics

Before we burn out, before we break down,
Before we wring out our senses,
Before we realize we're living a lie,
Before we knock down these fences,
Before we lay down, we're living right now,
So why not give it your best hand?
Remembering how we'd live it out loud,
But now we are stuck with the rest.

Strike down, we fight now,
We've held our tongues for way too long,
We'll make free this great sea,
Your cross-bone sails never belong.
In this world rules will never bend,
These faceless lies we must transcend.

The curtain is drawn, you're breaking like dawn,
Forgotten your only weakness,
We've torn off your mask, see through you like glass,
Fat lie in a million pieces.
Like father, like son, like bishop, like pawn,
They all wish they knew it was coming,
So read 'em and weep, one royal clean sweep,
All in that I've got your heart drumming.

Strike down, we fight now,
We've held our tongues for way too long,
We'll make free this great sea,
Your cross-bone sails never belong.
In this world rules will never bend,
These faceless lies we must transcend.
But take my hands, we'll make amends.
And say what's on your mind,
I'll stop and take the time,
To find out why you cry.
