[Intro] x2
C#mBreak down your walls tonight,
G#We're here to sing for you.
C#mTear down your walls tonight,
G#We're here to scream for you!
[Verse 1]
C#mCold as ice on the darkest December,
G#Spark a flame from a small burning ember.
F#mTrapped inside of this prison G#made of mirrors.
C#mAs I wait for that spark to ignite me,
G#Try to break through these walls that surround me,
F#mI'm trapped inside of this prG#ison made of mirrors.
[Chorus]
AI look to the sky, but my walls keep building hiC#mgher,
I'm surrF#mounded by creations, I
ANeed to feel alG#ive.
AI look to the sky, but the answers all aC#mround me,
Oh, I dF#mon't know why I have to try,
ATo take hold of my lG#ife.
[Verse 2]
C#mOh, the worst part of all,
G#Is I'm the one who holds the key.
F#mPrison of my mind,
G#Only purpose sets me free.
C#mAnd I have no purpose at all,
G#I'm floating and hoping for something to come break my fall,
F#mI've lost my mind, I've lost it aG#ll.
[Outro]  C#m   G#   F#m  G#  
Now repeat after me:
I walk, I breathe, I live a lie.
I walk, I breathe, I live a lie.
I walk, I breathe, I live a lie.
I walk, I breathe, I live a lie.
C#m
