Chairs thrown and tables toppled

Hands armed with broken bottles

Standing no chance to win butWe′re not running, we're not running

There′s a point I think we're missing

It's in the air we raise our fists in

In the smiles we cast each other

My sister, my brother

About the time we gave up hoping

We never find these locks still open

Stumbling on stones unturned

The hurt we feel, we all have earned

The lines we cross in search of change

But all they see is treason

Although we have no obligation

To stay alive

On broken backs we beg for mercy

We will survive

Break out, I won′t be left here

Behind closed doors

Bonfires burn like beacons

Guiding the lost and weakened

Flames dance on crashing waves

Guiding ships who′ve gone astray

Time out, let's stop to think this through

We′ve all got better things to do

Than talk in circles, run in place

Answers are inches from our face

Although we have no obligation

To stay alive

On broken backs we beg for mercy

We will survive

Break out! I won't be left here

Behind closed doors

Black eye, broken fingers

Blood drips and I let it run

Down my lips into my swollen gums

When hope is nonexistent

Our instincts all scream "Run!"

We never turn our backs or even bite our tongues

Although we have no obligation

To stay alive

On broken backs we beg for mercy

We will survive

Break out, I won′t be left here

Behind closed doors

(Behind closed doors)

Although we have no obligation

To stay alive

On broken backs we beg for mercy

We will survive

Break out, I won't be left here

Behind closed doors
