lyrics

Why do you always do whatever people tell ya to?
Break the rules, you're undeniable
Try so hard, you're unreliable
Living life, you're always on autopilot
Putting people down with vile words, you should just stay quiet
When you say things the wrong way
My blood boils, I see red, it makes me want to scream.
Makes me want to see the light
As it burns so brightly, in the city that will never, ever sleep again
Nights are much longer, but we are stronger
We will not squander, we want to conquer it all
No doubt about it, no doubt about it
No doubt about it, the writing's on the walls
I'm done, it's no fun anymore
Take it off, not my fault. I'm out the door.
Upside down, I'm all rung out,
I'm out of gas, this too shall pass,
I'm lost but found, surrounding sound
Monstrosities are killing me
I see the the light
As it burns so brightly, in the city that will never, ever sleep again
Nights are much longer, but we are stronger
We will not squander, we want to conquer it all
No doubt about it, no doubt about it
No doubt about it, the writing's on the walls
