There's a world outside
Full of hate, full of pain
Where my demons hide
Without shame, without a trace
And I can see their eyes
Look at me like I'm a slave
They said to fall in line
But I won't follow the wave
Breaking my heart or taming the flames?
Chasing the sun or waiting for rain?
And I'm bouncing off the walls they made
I can run, flying high
But I will not escape
I'm different
They're checking on it, choking me
The enemy
The black one in a heard of sheep
Because I know
Lost in my afterglow
The last to fall
I'm the last to fall
My mind is a labyrinth
Something hard to figure out
Take a look just inside of me, yeah
I'll never be what they want me to become, no
Welcome to the awakening, a war is coming
It's the showdown
Even if they're made to break me
I would never, could never bow down
It's written in my DNA
Am I lost? Am I insane?
Maybe they need someone to blame
To feel less inhumane
Just a virus that should be erased
Drowing me down 'till I asphyxiate
Staring into the void of a world that I cannot hold
Maybe I'm getting paranoid, but I'm sure of what I know
A place where hate is gonna rise and love is going to burn
Where stupid men outshine the stars just to get a fucking crown
Welcome to the awakening, a war is coming
It's the showdown
The stars will rise again from the abscence of light we're facing
See, I could turn the tide
But this weight on my shoulders is even heavier than before
More than you could ever know
But even if they're breaking me
I would never, could never bow down
"Why so anxious? Take this medicine"
Will I feel alright or be pushed to the edge?
All this darkness taking over me
Beneath the surface, holding my last breath
They're breaking down everything I am
Saying I'm crazy, but they can't really tell
I'm gonna face the darkness 'till the pain comes to an end
Rising from the ashes of something they've never been
Welcome to the awakening
Welcome to the awakening, a war is coming
I'll fight until the end
Until the pain comes to an end
Watch me come alive
I'm here to turn the tide
Even if I'm broken
I have never, I've never bowed down
