We are broken

WE ARE BROKEN (RIOT!)
I am outside
And I've been waiting for the sun
With my wide eyes
I've seen worlds that don't belong
My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

Yeah
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again cause wejust wanna be whole

Lock the doors
Cause I like to capture this voice
it came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights
I'll show myself it wasn't forged
We're at war
We live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again causewe just wanna be whole

Tower over me
Tower over me

And I'll take the truth at any cost

Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole
FOR A PESSIMIST, I'M PRETTY OPTIMISTIC (RIOT!)
Just talk yourself up
And tear yourself down
You built your wooden wall
Now find a way around
Well what'sthe problem?
You've got a lot of nerve

So what did you think I would say?
You can't run away, you can't run away
So what did you think I would say?
You can't run away, you can't run away
You wouldn't

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away

I'm not so naive
My sorry eyes can seeThe way you fly shy
Of almost everything
Well, if you give up
You'll get what you deserve

So what did you think I would say?
You can't run away, you can't run away
So what did you think I would say?
You can't run away, no you can't run away
You wouldn't

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threwit away

You were finished long before
We had even seen the start
Why don't you stand up, be a man about it?
Fight with your bare hands about it now

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay well did you
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And thenyou just threw it away

FENCES (RIOT!)
I'm sitting in a room
Made up of only big white walls and indoor halls
There's people looking through
The window though they know exactly what we're here for

Don't look up
Just let them think
There's no place else
You'd rather be

You're always on display
For everyone to watch and learn from
Don't you know by now
You can't turn back
Becausethis road is all you'll ever have

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And open wide, 'cause this is your night
So smile, 'cause you'll go out in style
You'll go out in style

If you let me I could
I'd show you how to build your fences
Set restrictions, separate from the world
Because the ground that you hate to fight
Just blame thelimelight

Don't look up
Just let them think
There's no place else
You'd rather be

And now you can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And open wide, 'cause this is your night
So smile.

Yeah, yeah you're asking for it
With every breath that you breathe in
Just breathe it in
Yeah,yeah well you're just a mess
You do all this, big talk, yeah..
So now let's see you walk it
I said let's see you walk it

Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
You do all this, big talk, yeah
So now let's see you walk it
I said let's see you walk it

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And oh oh open wide, yeah oh oh open wide
Yeah, oh oh...
