Verse 1:
Too long in the same place
I'm sinking into this town
I've charmed the same old snakes
I think we gotta get out
Before I break away from me
Cuz this place is my lobotomy
Imagine we were dead
Counting all the
things we never did
Refrain 1:
I remember when you told me
I should live like I'm dying
And not to close my eyes
While everything burns

Chorus 1:
What are we waiting for
These years are dying slowly
Today is still in front of us
And we're breaking out
Cuz today is now or never
Interlude: (hold)
Verse 2:
(bass only)
I can't contemplate the earth
All while my heads in the sand
Cuz I've been buried alive
(break)
So take my bleeding hands
And breathe life into me
Cuz right now I'm suffocating
So imagine we were dead
Counting all the
things we never did
(Repeat Refrain 1 and Chorus 1)
Bridge:
I don't want a life of ago-ny
I wont be another tragedy
And close my eyes
while everything burns
And I won't pretend
I don't e-xist
Invisible until
I turn to dust
Open your eyes
we're still alive
Refrain 2:
Standing still is criminal
And never lasts forever
The safest place in life is now
Today's the day we're breaking out
(Repeat Refrain 1)
Chorus 2:
What are we waiting for
These years are dying slowly
Today is still in front of us
And we're breaking out
(end)
Cuz today is now or never
