We've got the fire
Who's got the matches?
Take a look around
At the sea of masks, and
Come one, come all
Welcome to the grand ball
Where the strong run for cover
And the weak stand tall
I'm not one to scatter ashes
But there's some things
That melt the plastic
Try and dig down deeper if you can
I'm not ashamed, I'm not afraid, I'm not to blame
Welcome to the masquerade
I'm not afraid, I'm not ashamed, I'm not okay
Welcome to the masquerade
Welcome to the masquerade
We've got the power
Who's got the action?
Break it down 'til there's nothing
But a mere fraction
Out of the fire
Rise from the ashes
Reject your doubt
And release the passion
Let's get on it
Believe if you want it
Step into the realm
Where the real ones flaunt it
Come back, rewind
Another time on it
Reach out, take that
One off, step on it
I'm not one to scatter ashes
But there's some things
That melt the plastic
Try and dig down deeper if you can
I'm not ashamed, I'm not afraid, I'm not to blame
Welcome to the masquerade
I'm not afraid, I'm not ashamed, I'm not okay
Welcome to the masquerade
Welcome to the masquerade
I'm not one to scatter ashes
But there's some things
That melt the plastic
Try and dig down deeper if you can
I'm not ashamed, I'm not afraid, I'm not to blame
Welcome to the masquerade
I'm not afraid, I'm not ashamed, I'm not okay
Welcome to the masquerade
Welcome to the masquerade
Welcome to the masquerade
(I'm not one to scatter ashes
But there's some things
That melt the plastic
Try and dig down deeper if you can...)
I'm not ashamed, I'm not afraid, I'm not to blame
Welcome to the masquerade
I'm not afraid, I'm not ashamed, I'm not okay
Welcome to the masquerade
Welcome to the masquerade

Chorus:
I've got a bad case of turning it up
It's getting cold in here so fire it up
I've got a bad case of turning it up
It's getting cold in here so somebody fire it up
Come on and fire it up
Verse 1:
I'm in love with the feeling
Of pressure to the ceiling
We come with intention
To face my opposition
Get raw when it's time
To lay it on the line
To the walls where we're taking it
Let your light shine, like
Let your light shine, like
Let your light shine
[Chorus]
Take it higher, take it higher
Til the roof is on fire
Take it higher, take it higher
Let's burn it up
We throw down
When it's time for the action
Make it happen, and the sound
That you're feeling like lead
Might just happen
When you're torn
You might not
Get a warning or a sign
To the walls where we're taking it
Let your light shine, like
Let your light shine, like
Let your light shine
. . .

Open your mind, don't let it slip
And take you on a midnight ride that's wicked
Everyone around here comes in feelin'
Fed up with the way their rooms are hidden
Take me to a place where doors are open
A lovely little place where no one's broken
Welcome to the world that no one's livin'
Just wanna break out and escape this prison
(chorus)
Bring me to life, breathe air into me
It's taken me my whole life to realize
All the things I've never seen
Bring me to life, breathe air into me
Take me from the darkness that I feel
'Cuz I just wanna be free
Bring me to life! X2
Come on, start your engines. Flip that switch
And take you to the limit if you ride like this
And if you feel alive than pump your fist
'Cuz there's no turning back when the energy hits
Down comes the rain like a hurricane
Hard to breathe like a storm hangin' over me
Comin' to get me but I don't have to let it in
I stand up, face my fears like an enemy
(chorus)
And I've been wanting to break out
You helped me figure out
That I could come to life and
Turn this thing around x2
Shut it if you're talking to me
I'm sick and tired of all your lies
And what you want me to be x4
What you want me to be
. . .

I'm not the same as yesterday
Ooh, it's hard to explain
How things have changed
But I'm not the same as before
And I know there's so much more ahead
And I can barely believe that I'm here
And I won't surrender quietly
Step up and watch me go
Break down! You really want it?
Wanna make a scene?
Show me what you mean
Let's get it started
Let me see what'cha got
Can you take it up a knotch?
Don't think you got it
Can't handle the pressure
Get off! stop talkin' about it
Gotta make this count, let's go
When we move
We camouflage ourselves
We stand in the shadows waiting
We live for this and nothing more
We are what you created
I can feel this storm
The winds have changed
Ooh, 'cause we're worlds apart
But just the same
But we won't leave the way that we came
And I know there's so much more ahead
And I can barely believe that we're here
And I won't surrender quietly
Step up and watch it go
Break down! You really want it?
Wanna make a scene?
Show me what you mean
Let's get it started
Let me see what'cha got
Can you take it up a knotch?
Don't think you got it
Can't handle the pressure
Get off! stop talkin' about it
Gotta make this count, let's go
When we move
We camouflage ourselves
We stand in the shadows waiting
We live for this and nothing more
We are what you created
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready for me?
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready to see?
When we move
We camouflage ourselves
We stand in the shadows waiting
We live for this and nothing more
We are what you created
When we move
We camouflage ourselves
We stand in the shadows waiting
We live for this and nothing more
We are what you created
When we move
We camouflage ourselves
We stand in the shadows waiting
We live for this and nothing more
We are what you created

Don't lie to me
I've seen everything I need
And I've heard all the requests
Like a symphony of thieves
Don't cry for me
I don't need your sympathy
I've got everything I need
Right here inside of me
And I know it's not that simple
But I think I'll get it right
'Cause no one else
Is listening tonight
I know you're out there
And I know you care
'Cause I feel you
Like an angel
Watching over me
I know you're out there
And I know you care
'Cause I feel you
Like an angel
Watching over me
Don't shut me out
I'm an arson to myself
Who can't put out the fires
Until there's nothing left
So take my broken glass
And help me make a window
So I can see your face
After all I have been through
And I know it's not that simple
But I think I'll get it right
'Cause no one else
Is listening tonight
I know you're out there
And I know you care
'Cause I feel you
Like an angel
Watching over me
I know you're out there
And I know you care
'Cause I feel you
Like an angel
Watching over me
Watching over me
Like an angel
Watching over me
I know you're out there
And I know you care
I feel you
Like an angel
Watching over me
I know you're out there
And I know you care
I feel you
Like an angel
Watching over me
Watching over me
Watching over me
I feel you
Like an angel
Watching over me

Everyday I get a little closer
And everything I'm made of
Starts to melt away
I see the signs
But I can't quite
Make the words out
All I want is to be near you
But I'll push you away
I just want to get away
But I hurt you every day
The part that hurts the most
The part that hurts the most (is me)
The most (is you)
It's everything I do without you
The part that hurts the most
The part that hurts the most (is me)
The most (is you)
It's everything I do without you
Every change I get I'm movin' closer
I know I'm not supposed to
But I can't break away
I see the signs
But I can't quite
Make the words out
All I want is to be near you
But I'll push you away
The part that hurts the most
The part that hurts the most (is me)
The most (is you)
It's everything I do without you
The part that hurts the most
The part that hurts the most (is me)
The most (is you)
It's everything I do without you
I hate talkin' about it
Try to lose it but instead I found it
I just want you to know
I couldn't love anyone more
No! Stay away from me!
Get up! I'm tryin' to walk away
It just won't let up!
No! Stay away from me!
Get up! I'm tryin' to walk away
It just won't let up!
No! Stay away from me!
Get up! I'm tryin' to walk away
It just won't let up!
No! Stay away from me!
Get up! I'm tryin' to walk away
It just won't let up!
The part that hurts the most
The part that hurts the most (is me)
The most (is you)
It's everything I do without you
The part that hurts the most
The part that hurts the most (is me)
The most (is you)
It's everything I do without you
The part that hurts the most
The part that hurts the most (is me)
The most (is you)
It's everything I do without you
The part that hurts the most
The part that hurts the most (is me)
The most (is you)
It's everything I do without you

I can't erase it anymore
It follows me everywhere I go
It's like a mask that I don't
Want to wear anymore
I think I've found a way to let it go
But it's still to soon
To know for sure
I'd give everything I am
Just to feel something
(Can you feel that?)
Scream!
When the pressure breaks me
When it's too hard to see
When I feel like I'm
At the end of my rope
One more time
Scream!
When the fire burns me
When it's hard to break free
When I feel like I'm
Standing on the edge
Of it all this time
I can't suppress it anymore
Here it comes like a flood
Just like before
When it rains, it pours
And I don't want to swim anymore
I think I've found a way to let it go
I don't know, I've never
Felt this way before
But with everything I am
I just let go
(Can you feel it?)
Scream!
When the pressure breaks me
When it's too hard to see
When I feel like I'm
At the end of my rope
One more time
Scream!
When the fire burns me
When it's hard to break free
When I feel like I'm
Standing on the edge
Of it all this time
You make me wanna scream...
It's not a joke
I've felt as messed up as you do
I've felt the feelings
You've been feeling
Been through the same things
You've been through
And I know how hard it is
To feel like you're alone
We've all been given a second change
But the choice is all our own
(It was right there in front of me)
Scream!
When the pressure breaks me
When it's too hard to see
When I feel like I'm
At the end of my rope
One more time
Scream!
When the fire burns me
When it's hard to break free
When I feel like I'm
Standing on the edge
Of it all this time
Standing on the edge
Of it all this time
Standing on the edge
Of it all this time

She's everything to everyone
Wish I could have
Seen it come down
But I heard incorrectly
It seems everything she knows
Is now five minutes 'til closing
That's not a lot of time
When you're nervous
And they say
Daughter, look away
Don't be afraid
When you want to turn back
A million times
And you might get colder
But wait 'til it's over
Darling, you'll find your way
But she said...
I will not look away this time
Take all these cuts
And make them shine
And all this pain I've held inside
So I can find my way home again
I will not look away this time
Take all these cuts
And make them shine
I don't want to be perfect
Just all right
He's on his way to nowhere
'Cause he heard it was safe there
And safe is something valuable here
He's spent half his life searching
And the other half working hard
To find out if Jesus is real
And they said
Son, look away
Don't be afraid
When you want to turn back
A million times
And you might get colder
But wait 'til it's over
Son, you will find your way
But he said...
I will not look away this time
Take all these cuts
And make them shine
And all this pain I've held inside
So I can find my way home again
I will not look away this time
Take all these cuts
And make them shine
I don't want to be perfect
Just all right
And every time, every line
Every time you wanna
Say goodbye, sing...
Every time, every line
Every time you wanna
Say goodbye, sing...
I will not look away this time
Take all these cuts
And make them shine
And all this pain I've held inside
So I can find my way home again
I will not look away this time
Take all these cuts
And make them shine
I don't want to be perfect
Just all right
She's everything to everyone
Wish I could have
Seen it come down
But I heard incorrectly
It seems everything she knows
Is now five minutes 'til closing
That's not a lot of time
When you're nervous...

Let's keep it moving in a forward motion,
If we can hold on, we can cross this ocean,
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions,
Get in the way, until the door keeps closin'
If we sort this out, would we know how,
To live like we were different,
I know we've both had some doubts,
whether things would come around,
And look at us now
I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life...
Let's keep it moving in a forward motion,
If we can hold on, we can cross this ocean,
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions,
Get in the way, until the door keeps closin'
I never thought, we'd doubt,
Whether this world would come, Around, and work itself out
But it's more than a sound,
If it moves everyone around, Are you ready now?
And I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life
Let's keep it moving in a forward motion,
If we can hold on, we can cross this ocean,
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions,
Get in the way, until the door keeps closin'
I won't, be afraid, Your hands they cover me,
It's so worth it, 'cause it's worth it?
I can't let it fade
My hands are high and, raised, 'Cause it's worth it
Let's keep it moving in a forward motion,
If we can hold on, we can cross this ocean,
There's no sense in lettin' our emotions,
Get in the way, until the door keeps closin'

It feels like a dream
How did things all get so crazy?
I'm remembering
Before, when I felt so clean
Alone in my room
It feels like the walls are closing in
I'm thinking of you
'Cause I know what'll happen soon
I'm spinning out of control
Not knowing which way to go
Feelin' out in the cold
I just wanna let go of it all
And climb up over the wall
I need some help
To get back on my feet
If you're out there, comfort me!
You thought you could come and take
It all without hurting me
That was your biggest mistake
Should have known
When you saw me break!
Alone in my room I sit
And pray that the walls
Stop closing in
And every breath I take's
A step further away
From the end of me
I'm spinning out of control
Not knowing which way to go
Feelin' out in the cold
I just wanna let go of it all
And limb up over the wall
I need some help
To get back on my feet
If you're out there, comfort me!
(I wanna get this off my mind
There's no one else I can tell
Please listen to me
I just need you to listen to me
Come listen to me!
In a world where confusion
Is only an illusion
And fear itself is just another
Weak-minded solution
I live in a generation
With too much information
Instead of bonding together
We bring anger to the nation
My faith is the only thing I've got
And no one can take that from me
No one, nothing, there's no one
Who can take that from me!)
I'm spinning out of control
Not knowing which way to go
Feelin' out in the cold
I just wanna let go of it all
And limb up over the wall
I need some help
To get back on my feet
If you're out there, comfort me!
I just wanna let go of it all
And limb up over the wall
I need some help
To get back on my feet
If you're out there, cover me!

Get ready for the smack down!
Get ready for the smack down!
How you gonna react
When you're put on your back now?
'Cause there's no turning back
When you're facing the smack down!
Come on, let's kick it
Let's all get wicked
Put your hands in the sky
For a one-way ticket
Come on!
C-c-c-come on everybody
Gonna start this party
If we turn it to eleven
Then we can't go wrong
And I'm not trying to tell you
There won't a longer road
When it all comes down
You'll know just what to do
We're gonna burn this town
And keep on running
'Til my time here is through
'Cause when it all comes down
I know just what to do
Get ready for the smack down!
Get ready for the smack down!
How you gonna react
When you're put on your back now?
'Cause there's no turning back
When you're facing the smack down!
Come on, let's rip it
Let's push that limit
If you don't feel pain
Then you can't be winning
Come on!
They said I wouldn't be nothin'
I said stop fronting
Put the pedal to the metal
'Cause the storm is comin'
And I'm not trying to tell you
There won't a longer road
When it all comes down
You'll know just what to do
We're gonna burn this town
And keep on running
'Til my time here is through
'Cause when it all comes down
I know just what to do
Come on, let's kick it
Let's all get wicked
Put your hands in the sky
For a one-way ticket
C-c-c-come on everybody
Gonna start this party
If we turn it to eleven
Then we can't go wrong
Come on, let's rip it
Let's push that limit
If you don't feel pain
Then you can't be winning
They said I wouldn't be nothin'
I said stop fronting
Put the pedal to the metal
'Cause the storm is comin'
Get ready for the smack down!
Get ready for the smack down!
How you gonna react
When you're put on your back now?
'Cause there's no turning back
When you're facing the smack down!

The trouble with truth
Is that it never lies
And the trouble with wrong
Is that it's never right
So I rest my head under your light
The trouble with peace
Is that it never fights
And the trouble with love
Is that it's always blind
I want to walk to the edge of it tonight
And I fall down...
I am on my knees
'Cause you're everything I need
And I've made a mess of myself
On my own
Now I am on my face
And I'm calling out your name
And I won't run away
'Cause I'm already home
The trouble with tears
Is that they dry
And the trouble within
Made me wanna cry
I've never felt so much
Like I'm alive
I wanna open my eyes
And see your face
If I have to wait
A thousand days
I'll still be right here
Right next to you
And I fall down...
I am on my knees
'Cause you're everything I need
And I've made a mess of myself
On my own
Now I am on my face
And I'm calling out your name
And I won't run away
'Cause I'm already home
And I won't run away
I won't run away
And I won't run away
'Cause I'm Already Home
And I know I haven't always been
Where you wanted me
I'm standin' here, arms out
Broken down
Before you
And I know I haven't always been
Where you wanted me
I'm standin' here, arms out
Broken down
Before you
I am on my knees
'Cause you're everything I need
And I've made a mess of myself
On my own
Now I am on my face
And I'm calling out your name
And I won't run away
'Cause I'm already home
. . .
