We were young
Out of touch
Back when it was different, growing up

We're the ones
That would run
When it's said and done, yeah, it was us

We were free
You and me
It's all we ever needed to believe

Piece by piece
Breaking me
They told us how we should be, and we agreed

Hey, brother
How you living?
Night after night in your own prison
There's nothing truer that's ever been said
When you live on hope alone
Don't go holding your breath
Don't go holding your breeeaaath

You and I
Will survive
But ask me if I knew I'd pay the price

Hanging on
By a thread
The voices in my head stop making sense

On the edge
Once again
Living in the moment 'til the end

Every night
Of our lives
I wonder if it'd been right the whole damn time

Hey, brother
How you living?
Night after night in your own prison
There's nothing truer that's ever been said
When you live on hope alone
Don't go holding your breath
Don't go holding your breeeaaath

Can you say you found the voice that's deep inside
Deep inside?
Drank along as they came in, made up our minds
Made up our minds
Can you say that they have been right all this time
Every time?

Feels like forever since we
Built our cages (We built our cages)
Of empty phrases

Hey, brother
How you living?
Night after night in your own prison
There's nothing truer that's ever been said
Take a look at yourself, try to save what's left

Hey, brother
How you living?
When you live on hope alone
Don't go holding your breath
Don't go holding your breeeaaath
Don't go holding your breath
Don't go holding your breeeaaath

Don't go holding your breath
Don't go holding your breath
Don't go holding your breath
Don't go holding your breath
