I'm the king of the world, and it's crumbling down All around me falls the ruins of my enemies You can't control me Or can you not see? You can't control me It's time to admit defeat When I speak, you listen to me And all we need is a release A reason to be and a fight in which we believe We are the ones who save ourselves, don't think these walls will keep us out Don't abandon, don't abandon what we've started 'Cause I believe in you In fighting for whatever I have to You tremble and grow weak It'll take everything you have just to breathe You're begging, you're begging, "Let me out!" You're begging, you're begging, plead for mercy You'll beg, you'll beg, you'll scream Fall to your knees You've failed me for the last time What's yours is mine Because I'm taking over And all we need is a release A reason to be and a fight in which we believe We are the ones who save ourselves, don't think these walls will keep us out Don't abandon, don't abandon what we've started 'Cause I believe in you In fighting for whatever I have to (Don't abandon what we've started) 'Cause I believe in you, in fighting for whatever I have to

Go! You think I'm weak? It's called honesty Believe me Here's your epiphany Just let go Your inner thoughts betray you I need to just let go It'll wear me down Unless I learn to finally pretend But I know that won't happen Oh, it feeds and feeds It breaks down everything Destroys the life that I've been seeking You try to force your way in So you fight and fight, you're battling I believe, nothing is what it seems There's something you don't know A place you'll never go There's something you don't know You need to let go There's something you don't know A place you'll never go There's something you don't know You need to let go You run from everything You can't control Let go of control It will wear me down Unless I learn to finally pretend But I know that won't happen Oh, it feeds and feeds It breaks down everything Destroys the life that I've been seeking You try to force your way in So you fight and fight, you're battling I believe, nothing is what it seems Oh, it feeds and feeds It breaks down everything Destroys the life that I've been seeking Oh, it feeds and feeds It breaks down everything Destroys the life that I've been seeking Oh, it feeds and feeds It breaks down everything Destroys the life that I've been seeking

You're dead to me It might be hard to understand I'll show the world who you really are So, just step aside So let this be the beginning The time of liars and thieves is descending And let this be your warning The path of the wretched is burning I thought I knew you Now you can't save your name We won't follow the deceiver Don't try to silence my words with your lies We won't follow the deceiver What were you searching for when you stabbed me in the back? What were you lying for when we gave you all you had? I finally see that you've fallen away from the bond that we had I fear it won't be the same I thought that I knew you, but you threw it away Now you're dead to me (Fuck you) I thought I knew you Now you can't save your name We won't follow the deceiver Don't try to silence my words with your lies We won't follow the deceiver This is what I expected Another life lesson is what I'm left with Look at what you've started A war of words is what we'll part with So don't act like you don't know exactly what you really are The truth will find us both in the end, in the end The difference being that it will show me blameless While it robs you of your breath Your deceiving is worthy of receiving an end So don't act like you don't know what you are, my friend I thought I knew you Now you can't save your name We won't follow the deceiver This is what I expected Another life lesson is what I'm left with Look at what you've started A war of words is what we'll part with (We won't follow the deceiver) This is what I expected Another life lesson is what I'm left with (We won't follow the deceiver) Look at what you've started (We won't follow the deceiver) A war of words is all we'll part with You're dead to me So don't act like you don't know

Every time I look around my name is on your lips Every time I look around you're further away Every time I look around my name is on your lips Every time I look around you're fading, you're fading away We taught you how to build an empire You showed us how to tear it down These past few years have changed my life I won't give up without a fight If it's true that I can be replaced Why is it that I cannot be erased? I can see that you're letting go, letting go It's kinda funny that you'll never know, never know I am already gone You think you're justified You're tearing down my dream I think you're terrified You lost your way It's time you recognize somethings you can never fight Will you ever learn? When will you learn? I'm making progress, I'm where I should be I'll use the rage that flows through me If it's true that I can be replaced Why is it that I cannot be erased? I can see that you're letting go, letting go It's kinda funny that you'll never know, never know I am already gone I never ran away, it was more of an escape Bitterness will plague your nights always My story as told by you couldn't be more wrong Just wait for the headlines, it won't be long I kept your dirty secrets, your private life You hide from all those who hold you up high I don't need to hide behind a lie If friends are friends for never You were never a friend at all We all know you're getting old You should just let go (Just let go) You can't keep it going I promise you, you're coming down Look at me and see what you could have been Look at me and see what you could have been

You thought you could get away And you thought you could escape Your time is up (Your time is up!) You can't hide from me No one will recognize me A new face, a cold heart to stand in your way (Stand in your way) Now this is what you get for taking my life away You can't run away (You can't run away!)

We’ve been a burden though we were kept alive By the ones we've forsaken, by the ones at our side The truth we've found is out there lost in everything We can show the way for the wandering When we're young we're so naive It never ends unless you seek the beauty hidden underneath It never ends unless you seek, it never ends unless you seek It never ends unless you seek, you'll find out who you are It's easy to see We're running out of time The walls are collapsing They're coming down on me, coming down, coming down And nothing's as it seems This world is in ruins You can't believe what you see Don't you see, don't you see? Don't you desire to see the truth? This is what you wanted This is what you needed This is what you wanted This is what you needed Truth is out there, just believe Truth is out there, just believe It's easy to see We're running out of time The walls are collapsing They're coming down on me, coming down, coming down And nothing's as it seems This world is in ruins You can't believe what you see Don't you see, don't you? This world is over This world is over This world is over This world is over

If you're not my blood, you are my bones The only one I've ever known You showed me how to be a man You don't know what you mean to me So many secrets run through me Don't fuck with family Don't fuck with family I've tried to be a better man For you will see that I've grown I know we've both made mistakes but you could never fail me In my heart you're the one who's molded me To be a man who could make you proud Do you have regrets, do you ever look back? Do you have regrets? Don't look back The one I turn to Nobody sees me as you do You're always there You taught me all I know (You better me, I know) You taught me all I know (You better me, I know) I'm sorry for the times I made you sad I just want you to know that I know we've both made mistakes, but you could never fail me In my heart, you're the one who's molded me to be a man who could make you proud Do you have regrets, do you ever look back? Do you have regrets? Don't look back (Don't hold back, don't hold back) Many nights, I laid awake trying to think of a way to say But the words just don't seem to escape They get trapped at the start, but the feelings won't fade So here's a song to say I love you This is the one I hope will let you know I don't need blood, but I need bones You are my home I know we've both made mistakes, but you could never fail me In my heart, you're the one who's molded me To be a man who could make you proud Do you have regrets do you ever look back? Do you have regrets? Don't look back I don't need blood, I need bones

(Breathe) They will turn their backs on me unless I decide to (Breathe) You will forget me unless I (Breathe) I've seen the worst in myself tonight (I almost lost the fight) My mind is lost within my dreams Pinned down, wrapped up, in the arms of sleep I feel it slowing now I can barely see my way out I won't forget And every single time I see your face It reminds me of why I walked away I won't forget And this is how you remind me that when I walked away I was right to save me from myself Goodbye, never say I am not enough I'm scared I've thrown it all away And I'll never be the same What have they done? What have I become? This is the end Of running from you I promise you that I won't forget And every single time I see your face It reminds me of why I walked away I won't forget And this is how you remind me that when I walked away I was right to save me from myself Goodbye, never say I am not enough Never say never, never say I'm not enough Never say that I... Never say never, never say I'm not enough Never say I'm not enough

Hold back, I won't hold back This fight will be the death of me Or will it set me free? (Will it finally set me free) Will it set me free? Love me if you know what it means And I'll be as strong As you need me to be (as strong as you need) Yeah you'll see And everywhere I look you're all I see Did you mean anything? Can't you see you're my everything And I was on the outside looking in You know I want you, I want you (You're all I see) And I cannot let go Stay awake Don't let it pull you in It'll drag you under water With no chance to swim It's gonna try Gonna try to pull us in The fog rolls in to block out the light Answers and questions Removed from all sight But I won't give up, if you won't I won't give up, if you won't And everywhere I look you're all I see Did you mean anything? Can't you see you're my everything And I was on the outside looking in You know I want you, I want you (You're all I see) And I cannot let go I was on the outside looking From the wrong side of it all You know I need you, I need you I cannot let, I cannot let go Hold on, hold on! Can't you see? Please believe And I was on the outside looking in You know I want you, I want you (You're all I see) And I cannot let go Now I'm on the inside looking From the right side of it all You know you want me I want you! So let's not let Let's not let this go Hold back, I won't hold back This fight will be the death of me Or will it set me free? Will it set me free? It's not about what you've done It's all about what you'll become What you'll become
