Can’t you see the ashes on the floor from all the times we’ve tried to burn before can’t you smell the sulfur in the air from the countless matches lit I swear That only a few really cared about us and tried to fan our flame before the fire got lost So one last time we’ll try to burn like the sun incinerate everything that we’ve begun…

Could someone tell me why my live keeps moving faster like a terrifying deathride that never seems to end Could someone please remind me exactly who I am cus I just might have left it I just might have lost it on the fast lane, rushing through my mind And it seems by every second I’m bound to travel further away from that what saves me and wherever I’m right now (2x) So I scream for you to save me but the message get’s distorted I scream for you to push the breaks but the gears are shifting up Could someone tell me why my live keeps moving faster like a terrifying deathride that never seems to end (2x) Could someone please remind me exactly who I am cus I just might have left it I just might have lost it on the fast lane, rushing through my mind Could someone tell me why my live keeps moving faster Could someone tell me why my live keeps moving faster Could someone tell me why

I've watched the ravens gather 'round around the ruins of a life once lived in peace but now reduced to nothing more than humiliation (and) They paint the sky into the deepest shade of black 'till your day turns into night! The way I see it there is only one way back to live remove this blindfold from your eyes (look at the sky) and strip this joy from it's disguise (reject denial) embrace the truth instead of lies how long just will it take for you to realise that even when you're body walks you mind's Pinned to the ground taste the dirt, you're down and out when lifes reduced to only doubt and what's there to loose when all is lost any shot in the dark is just a futile cost an efford given to heal the damage done a small price return to where we've begun

No matter what we do we got no place to hide we looked but we couldn’t find No matter what we do we got no place to hide so look beyond your pride and make us both survive I don’t want to fight I don’t want to die just want to stay here by your side before this fire hits the tide and leaves me all alone Now the fire rages on the fire rages through my heart destroying every dream destroying every memory we ever shared Now the fire rages on Only the ashes remain and as I open my eyes your blurry figure fades away never to be seen here ever again Let’s burn this bridge tonight and light the sky Let’s burn this bridge tonight and light the sky Only the ashes remain and as I open my eyes your blurry figure fades away never to be seen here ever again

You’ve got us pressed with our backs against the wall ain’t this madness? Ain’t this wrong? Ain’t it wrong! when every disrespect was rejected or condemned So your disbelieves and misjudgement strike us hard, in our hearts You’ve got to come to terms with your own self and realize, ain’t it hard You victimize! And we’re no different, unless you’re acting like you are Why this efford? Why this war? Why this war! and your aching heart is filled with discontent Your heart is filled with discontent the only shadow that falls over you is your own Nothing tastes worse, nothing tastes worse then the bitterness of contempt And nothing feels, nothing feels better then looking past our differences

A new day has just begun while we waited for you, for your arrival, your first smile while we waited for your eyes to face the sky So small and fragile, so unaware so helpless and demanding in a world that needs to change Right now take my hand I’ll lead the waaaaaaaaay (lang) you could learn the world a different way. Right now take my hand this world needs chaaaaaaange. It’s not to laaaaaate for changing lanes. The voice of a new generation Changing ideals ideals that last forever stand strong for countless days Take note from our wasted efforts Learn from our fails stand tall in a world that’s full of lives all(ready) lived in vain
