Pushed away
This is my dream, I'll die to defend it
A jury of wolves
Chained to a city
All of my heroes are thieves
This is a warning
Time will haunt you
I will cut you down
I pray you fear
That end is near
Breathe in the air
Now that we're older, isn't it colder than before?
And I had a heart of gold but it just won't seem to shine bright anymore
So let's open a jar of fireflies
And light up your room tonight, and lose track of our lives
Doesn't it feel just like the first time?
Breathe in the air
Isn't it colder than you remember?
And this summer breeze could make me believe it's the dead of december
Always wanting to feel alive
And always ending up unsatisfied
'Cause no matter how I try
It'll never feel just like the first time
I claim this hate
All the scars on your sleeve are the price that you pay
Idols turn to dust
All your beliefs covered in rust
Bring down the throne
Tear down the altar
Burn it in your mind
I will protect this with my life
Burn it in your mind
I will protect this with my life
Can you hear me?
This is a song of a traitor
In a world of open wounds
Are you listening?
This is a song of a traitor
In a world of open wounds
So after all we've learned, after all we've seen, and after everything
Will you help me tear it down?
And after all the lies that kept us occupied while they slipped the knife
Won't you help me tear it down?
No heroes, no traitors
Who will you believe
Bring down the throne
Tear down the altar
Won't you help me tear it down?
And after all the years they tricked us into stacking bricks
Won't you help me tear it down
So we can rebuild it?
