Born from the words of a ghost with no name
They’ve kept us in the dark for too long
Now our hearts are a flame
I can feel the winds changing
I know you do too
By the spark of ambition
Our lives will burn true
Let’s leave this town in the dust
Before our souls start to rust and decay
When it’s my turn to leave
Will tell me to go or stay?
Set your whole life ablaze
In spite of everything
Give yourself a brand new name
Cuz it never meant anything
I know there’s still time
If you’re so inclined
Cover your eyes and let yourself fall
Right into the flames
Dulled and defeated, your edges grew smooth
Like the glimmer of a Phoenix
And the person I knew
Embrace your dissidence
Carry me through
I admired your spirit
Now I’m lost without you
Let’s give this one last try
Block out the voice from the sky
Even if they try to tell us
There’s no point in yelling
We’ll scream out til our bodies die
Set your whole life ablaze
In spite of everything
Give yourself a brand new name
Cuz it never meant anything
I know there’s still time
If you’re so inclined
Cover your eyes and let yourself fall
Right into the flames
We may be broken
We may be lost
But I’m still reaching
No matter the cost
Your fire's dying
But I see the dawn
Will you just give in or
Will you be a nonbeliever?
Set your whole life ablaze
In spite of everything
Give yourself a brand new name
Cuz it never meant anything
I know there’s still time
If you’re so inclined
Cover your eyes and let yourself fall
Right into the flames
It’s a lie that you’re living
These walls are long gone
Will you just give in or
Will you be a nonbeliever?
