In order to survive in this world
You must force off traditions
Put your pride and pain on the backburner
And with a thousand symphonies at your back
Orchestrate the end

Force off traditions
Dismiss your selfishness
Orchestrate the end
And vanquish your dignity

So hold on just a little bit longer
"Just be strong," but I wish I was stronger
I can't believe this heart's still beating
When it's racing to explode
And let go to the ones that you hold close
Or hold on as you feel them let you go
I can't decide which one is worse or what hurts the most

They've the mercy of a shark
Wildly biting in the dark
Father shed the blood of a son
The real pain has just begun

What a sad life that we lead
And what a cold race that we breed

Anger bound you to an early grave
Crucify your offerings
In the words of saints and allies
"Suffer, surrender, give up, and die"

I'm just another person I've become
But I'm running out of places to run
I said, I said, I said, let go
And put your burdens aside
Speak now and make the world divide
Let go
Not even God can break you

Hail the face of a ghost, you aren't unspoken
No more burden, pride or pain
Only you can halt this suffering

I think I'm ready to let go now
Of the weight that has held me down
(No more burden, pride or pain)
But I don't know how
(Only you can halt this suffering)
We are the sons of a broken world
Damnation for all the boys and girls
(No more burden, pride or pain)
Mistakes with wings
We're nothing short of beautiful
