lyrics

Take the last train out of here into the night, away from fear, before it's gone
We're going to break the locks on all the stocks and set them loose, the madmen we've locked up
People come and people go, they can terrorize and often show us something new about ourselves
They feed the monsters in our brains until we lock them up again, labeled never to be seen

So break them down, the barriers, the constrictors, the people that tether us to the ground
And with this sound we can see…

If you were talking to me, would everybody be free?
If I were talking to you, what would you choose to do with me…?

There will come a time when everything you felt inside is suddenly different and these things you cannot hide
Everything is different now, there's almost no rhyme or reason how these changes can all come about
Well the thing to remember then is not to worry too much my friend because it will all subside
And suddenly it's the reality you choose to live by
No more hiding from yourself you see, it's just a part of life for you and me

So wave goodbye to everyone and everything you thought you knew because now you're someone new

And if you were talking to me, who would you choose to be?
And if I were talking to you, what would I choose to do and be? Something different completely? I don't know
