lyrics

hey say the night is young, but for us the night was over
You can say we fought a long way, but never far enough yet. You can say we've got a long way before we're ever good enough. "Save your breath, don't waste your time," they'd say. But I've got a reason to believe it's not much longer till you know we've fought a long way, way back from the start of this. You can say we've gone a long way, breaking apart from the crowd that always said we'd never make our name

We're gonna make our name, even if we have to climb from the bottom of the hole to be on top of the game

So let's rise above the rest, until we're ten feet taller than the ones who tried to tear us down. Break the walls that hold us in, we'll break it with our voices. It turns out there's a world outside this town.

Make lies, make excuses all the same, I never heard a single thing about this.
There's a catch to this agreement that always seems to slip past. I wish I could've seen this, forgetting we're the underdog held under by this collar. But I intend to break the chain, cause there's nothing around that can hold me back this time. There's always someone trying, I never would've guessed it. It's hard enough to save face, when you're saving the best for last. Don't wait much longer, take the role.

We're gonna take a hold, this is only one life. Hope the rhythm stays in time...

We're gonna find out we're not so far from the top

You shout this part: YOU LIGHT THIS MATCH, WE'LL BURN THIS CITY TO THE GROUND
