You can hear the official version on our EP here real soon! My apologies for the quality of the video. My voice wasn't warmed up, and it didn't serve me all too well.

Verse 1:

You're lying face down on the floor.

The walls are caving in,

But you refuse to forget.

Close the window, lock the door,

And hold your own.

Raging heavy war with a dilluted mindset.

Oh no, they won't let you hide.

You're so far off from where they want you to be.

Oh no, they'll eat your hope alive.

You're not living, only breathing,

This is not what we need.

Chorus:

Our minds are battle zones,

And we're all pretty far from winning.

This world is not our own,

But we've clung to every bit of hope since the beginning,

And I'm not finished yet.

Won't take me down, won't take me out,

Oh no...

We're not finished yet.

We'll be the start of the progress they've always worried about.

Verse 2:

Well, if innocence is ignorance,

Than ignorance is bliss,

And if ignorance is bliss

Than I ought to be the happiest...

I'm not.

We've been caught,

But we don't know what we've done,

Standing in the shadows of a world that's overrun

By everything we've always been afraid of.

They lay us down to sleep and say it's all that we need,

But I think that it's time we wake up,

And establish who we are instead of who we ought to be.

Chorus:

Our minds are battle zones,

And we're all pretty far from winning.

This world is not our own,

But we've clung to every bit of hope since the beginning,

And I'm not finished yet.

Won't take me down, won't take me out,

Oh no...

We're not finished yet.

We'll be the start of the progress they've always worried about.

Bridge:

Oh God, with every breath that I take,

There's another fragile shadow and I'm lost in their ways.

Oh God, with every breath that I take,

There's another fragile shadow and I'm lost in their ways.

Oh God, with every breath that I take,

There's another fragile shadow and I'm lost in their ways.

Please don't ever listen to what the voices have to say.

You've got to run away.

You are NOT a mistake.

Chorus:

Our minds are battle zones,

And we're all pretty far from winning.

This world is not our own,

But we've clung to every bit of hope since the beginning,

And I'm not finished yet.

Won't take me down, won't take me out,

Oh no...

We're not finished yet.

We'll be the start of the progress they've always worried about.
