I once believed in sacrifice
That I belonged under your knife
The world was just a giant stage
For me to close the curtains one day

But then I saw beyond the show
And found it's not worth dying for
Can't bring myself to fade away
There's so much more for me to say

Scream out loud
Save yourself
Screw the lies that we've been fed
Follow them, you're good as dead

Raise your flag
Don't look back
Open your eyes, it's not too late
It's time for us to detonate

The world has kicked me down again
But I've never felt farther from dead
I can finally taste the air
And it tastes better far from here

New windows open every day
And I can't afford to walk away
My heart is racing with each step
And we can't give this up just yet

Scream out loud
Save yourself
Screw the lies that we've been fed
Follow them, you're good as dead

Raise your flag
Don't look back
Open your eyes, it's not too late
It's time for us to detonate

Raise your voice, and scream out loud
We can unwind this nightmare now
Swing your arms back, bring them forth
Applaud yourself for staying whole

Scream out loud
Save yourself
Screw the lies that we've been fed
Follow them, you're good as dead

Raise your flag
Don't look back
Open your eyes, it's not too late
It's time for us to detonate
