This precaution ties us down    From our ambition to be weightless    Here we're tethered to the ground    While our hearts lead us to fly    And the unity we seek    As we attempt to integrate this    No one sees the implications    We must coalesce or die       And the loss, look at what it cost    Couldn't this fly before the wires got crossed?       Breaking down is just the same    As blank submission    Compromise is just the same as giving up    When we've finally lost ourselves    It breaks me, so shake me    Compromise is just the same as giving up       In defense of things untried    Innovation can seem daunting    Held by walls of fear and pride    While the wicked love to lie    In the failures of the past    There's a hint of something haunting    No one sees the implications    We must coalesce or die       Left inside and we never could tell    This was true    When it breaks you    There's nobody left here but you    You'll never see what's in me    'til we break ourselves apart    You'll never see what's in me, what's in me       So you took me from the ashes    And your eyes could see right through me    It breaks me, it shakes, me    It breaks me, I've done my time here    So you took me from the ashes, it's another lie    It breaks me, it shakes, me it breaks me,    I've done my time with you       We're not forgiving, not forgetting    I've never been the way that I feel right now       Stand strong and fix bayonets boys    We used to raise our torches to ignite this light    Illuminate this emblem for tonight we fight    When your last ambition dies    Close your windows, shut your eyes    Your light shines shorter than a shooting star       Rise up, lift your voices    We're not giving up
