We all need a little faith sometimes
But tell me I have changed,
You have to in this day and age.
These machines are something we rely on
Remember when there was no screens, we sold our vision on the streets.
I can't keep up with this, our friends are now our enemies.
So think before you speak 'cus someone's always listening.
Would this rose by any other name smell as sweet as you’d make me believe (make me believe)
Come to your senses, pull the wool from off your eyes.
Fuelling a machine which is a monster in disguise.
We turned our backs on something we believed in
So tell me that this isn't true, this scene is dead because of you.
We all need a little faith sometimes
But call it what you like, you never seem to understand.
These machines are something we rely on
And I never seem to quit.
Would this rose by any other name smell as sweet as you’d make me believe (make me believe)
Come to your senses, pull the wool from off your eyes.
Fuelling a machine which is a monster in disguise.
So take me back, take me back to how it used to be.
(Waiting) take me back to how it used to be.
(Waiting) take me back to how it used to be.
Don’t we control our future, or are we just a slave to time that hasn’t passed us by?
Souring out on borrowed time
How can we have have any influence when our hands are bound, we fear to speak out

I'm ready to live
We've all been led to believe
There is nothing in this world.
Except routine and I can stand it.
There's venom in my lungs and I can't stop it building up.
I'm ready to live, I'm ready to live.
Just tow the line, they always told me
Told me I'd be fine.
We're heading forward not looking back.
Just tow the line and never give up what you see inside.
So stop complaining and make a change.
Remember when the minutes felt like hours
And the days would never end.
It's no longer like that, we're moving forward.
Cherish every moment that you take.
What began as so mundane, you motherfuckers couldn't keep up with me now.
If this is heaven where the fuck did you ascend from.
It doesn't get much better than this.
And we Just tow the line, they always told me
Told me I'd be fine.
We're heading forward not looking back.
Just tow the line and never give up what you see inside.
So stop complaining and make a change.
Remember when the minutes felt like hours
And the days would never end.
It's no longer like that, we're moving forward.
Cherish every moment that you....
We're born to fade away but I can't stand the feeling.
Of knowing that we survive to disintegrate
If this is how it's meant I'll do all in my power, to give everything I can.
Just tow the line and never give up what you see inside.
So stop complaining, stop complaining
(Make a change)
Remember when the minutes felt like hours
And the days would never end.
It's no longer like that, we're moving forward.
Cherish every moment that you....

Standing here looking over this city
I'm screaming out from the top of my lungs.
While you wallow in your own self pity
Will you ever learn to save yourself?
My work is done here and I'm growing tired, of the same old shit you face me with.
(Night after night)
And I swear that I, I just can't keep, keep up with this pace.
So when you call my name, call my name.
(fuck)
Always waiting for the worst to come.
Always waiting for someone to save the world.
You might think that I'm your saviour
But I'm not here to save you anymore
At least that's what I tell myself.
Another day of this, I swear you've never known.
What it is, it is to struggle
What it is on your own.
I want to rest
I want my bones to set
My bruises and my scars
Show I can only go so far.
When daylight comes and lives are lost
You show me what it is to hate.
So stop calling for me, calling for me
The light which used to guide you now fades away.
(fuck)
Always waiting for the worst to come.
Always waiting for someone to save the world.
You might think that I'm your saviour
But I'm not here to save you anymore
At least that's what I tell myself.
This is your final chance to come out of this unscathed.
So fuck everything you stand for and walk away
You give everything and everything they fucking take.
You can't do this, you can't do this.
(Surrender)
It's not an option
(Surrender)
Is not a choice we make.
I'll stand here, watching over you.
Not every hero wears a fucking cape.
Just take me home, take me home.
To the life I used to know
Just take me home, take me home.
Back to the life I used to know.
Always waiting for the worst to come.
Always waiting for someone to save the world.
You might think that I'm your saviour
But I'm not here to save you anymore
At least that's what I tell myself.
You might think that I'm your saviour, I'm not here to save you anymore.
At least that's what I tell myself

Six months ago I wouldn't be here
You'd still be standing in that room, waiting for the dream to come to you.
We sat around and wrote our songs about sincerity
To you these words are noise, these words mean so much more to me.
They're telling us, we don't belong.
We don't believe
Have you seen what we've become?
Have you seen what we've achieved
And you can't stand it.
Your disappointment is what keeps me from looking back.
I am ready for the next wave
I am ready for whatever you throw at me.
You're a traitor to your own emotions
Every effort was a waste of time
So sit around, wait for fate to find your feet
While I walk away with mine
(Walk away)
Six months ago I stood with five but felt alone
At first we gained a little worth but what we lost was ten fold.
You put me here,
You brought me back,
You pulled me from the deep.
And now the weight will sink,
You fucking sink without me.
They're telling us, we don't belong.
We don't believe
Have you seen what we've become?
Have you seen what we've achieved.
And you can't stand it.
Your disappointment is what keeps me from looking back.
I am ready for the next wave
I am ready for whatever you throw at me.
The scars on our hands show how hard we'll work for this.
(We'll work for this)
We gave our all from the start
When everything around us fell apart.
You always said to me "everything snowballs from here"
But we're the fucking avalanche.
