Watch me, now, crush this town
one hand tied behind my back!
Stars cry out through the black;
their attack leaves no sound...

You're weighing me;
weighing me down with your truths.
Truth be told, this fate that I'm sealing is mine
and mine alone.

See as I shatter skies
with a wave of my hand!
Turning soil into sand;
barren land tells no lies...

You're weighing me;
weighing me down with your truths.
Truth be told, this fate that I'm sealing is mine
and mine alone.

I recognize the familiar desire
that blazes behind your eyes,
and in this moment I swear on my life that
(I'll make you mine yeah!)
I'll make you mine.

You know this city's a stagnant routine
and I know that you're longing to set yourself free
and after all
we're always sixteen! We're always sixteen!

Come darling!
A new world is waiting
just beyond this door!
There's no sense in staying!
I'll tear your tethers from the floor!
Come darling!
A new world is waiting
just beyond this door!

These shackled wings were meant to soar
and I'm prepared
to raze this cage to get a taste
of open air...

These shackled wings were meant to soar!
We'll tear our tethers from the floor!

...what's this?
What is holding me back?
Oh no you don't...

"You best let go.
It can't be helped.
It's too late now

Relinquish your regrets;
your past is dead and gone."

....should I turn back?
Should I give in?
Should I stand down?
Should I forfeit?

Maybe when this earthquake inside settles
I will sleep again but

Not today!
(No not today!)
Not today!
(No not today!)

Where I stand is where I fall!

In the hearth of an angel's wings
I watch the earth beneath me sink!
Where were you when I was calling
out your name!

Shouting same old
syllables bursting this silent night!
Holiest mayday declares divine right!
"WHERE I STAND IS WHERE I FALL!!"

Ring out the chorus of thousands unheard;
voices too feeble and taciturn!
Can't you hear them all!?

They're calling out your name!!
