Chairs thrown and tables toppled, Hands armed with broken bottles, Standing no chance to win but, We're not running, we're not running.
There's a point I think we're missing, It's in the air we raise our fists in, In the smiles we cast each other, My sister, my brother.
About the time we gave up hope and We never find these locks still open, Stumbling on stones unturned, The hurt we feel, we all have earned.
The lives we've lost in such a change, but all they see is treason
Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive (Break out) I won't be left here Behind closed doors.
Bonfires burn like beacons, Guiding the lost and weakened. Flames dance on crashing waves, Guiding ships who've gone a stray
Time out, let's stop and think this through, We've all got better things to do, A talk in circles run in place, Answers inches from my face.
Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive (Break out) I won't be left here Behind closed doors.
Black eyes, broken fingers, Blood drips and I let it run down my lips and to my swollen gums When hope is non-existent, Our instincts all scream "Run", We never turn our backs or even bite our tongue.
Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive (Break out) I won't be left here Behind closed doors.
Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive (Break out) I won't be left here Behind closed doors.
