On dawn of the day I arose to the thunder again 

the pounding in my head 

it doesn't seem to phase me 

how every scream the pretend not to hear echoes through me 

standing, complacently waiting 

I try to tell myself 

our lives are worth more than this 

so give me a chance to take it all back, 

I'll show you that I'm worth more than your pittance or pity 

it's a spit in the face 

so don't even try to explain 

the earth shakes beneath my feet 

and as these buildings 

they crumble around me 

I call out if you can hear me 

come and let me out, 

oh please break me out! 

and give me sanctuary 

you know this whole world knows 

you won't be satisfied 'til you fill up another cemetery 

it's all a game to you 

we won't be fooled by you into thinking that it's easy, 

nobody said this would be easy to swallow or process or fake 

and dark will be the day when I elude their desires 

no longer will I be..
