This precaution ties us down nFrom our ambition to be weightless nHere we're tethered to the ground nWhile our hearts lead us to fly nAnd the unity we seek nAs we attempt to integrate this nNo one sees the implications nWe must coalesce or die nnAnd the loss, look at what it cost nCouldn't this fly before the wires got crossed? nnBreaking down is just the same nAs blank submission nCompromise is just the same as giving up nWhen we've finally lost ourselves nIt breaks me, so shake me nCompromise is just the same as giving up nnIn defense of things untried nInnovation can seem daunting nHeld by walls of fear and pride nWhile the wicked love to lie nIn the failures of the past nThere's a hint of something haunting nNo one sees the implications nWe must coalesce or die nnLeft inside and we never could tell nThis was true nWhen it breaks you nThere's nobody left here but you nYou'll never see what's in me n'til we break ourselves apart nYou'll never see what's in me, what's in me nnSo you took me from the ashes nAnd your eyes could see right through me nIt breaks me, it shakes, me nIt breaks me, I've done my time here nSo you took me from the ashes, it's another lie nIt breaks me, it shakes, me it breaks me, nI've done my time with you nnWe're not forgiving, not forgetting nI've never been the way that I feel right now nnStand strong and fix bayonets boys nWe used to raise our torches to ignite this light nIlluminate this emblem for tonight we fight nWhen your last ambition dies nClose your windows, shut your eyes nYour light shines shorter than a shooting star nnRise up, lift your voices nWe're not giving up
