Hands Up

I feel the pressure building in my chest. A war inside that never lets me rest. Every step I take, the ground is cracking. Every word I speak, the silence backing. Into the corner, nowhere left to run. I tried to hide, but I'm not done. They tried to break me, tried to bend. But this is where the battle begins. And I can hear a distant sound. A million voices underground. We're all broken, but we're not alone. Together we can turn this stone. Rise from the wreckage, break the chains. We're still standing through the pain. Rise from the wreckage, take the light. We are the fire in the night. Hands up high, we won't back down. We'll shake the sky, we'll take this town. Rise from the wreckage, hear the sound. We are the ones who won't be Bound. I built these walls to keep me safe. But every brick became a grave. I bit my tongue, I played their game. But now I'm done, I'm not the same. You feel it too, that burning ache. The need to bend until we break. But breaking's just the start of flight. We rise from ashes, own the night. And I can hear a distant sound. A million voices underground. We're all broken, but we're not alone. Together we can turn this stone. Rise from the wreckage, break the chains. We're still standing through the pain. Rise from the wreckage, take the light. We are the fire in the night. Hands up high, we won't back down. We'll shake the sky, we'll take this town. Rise from the wreckage, hear the sound. We are the ones who won't be Bound.
