walking through the flood lights, walking past midnight
like and angel yelling in the center of hell we get engaged in a fire-fight
blooming daisies in a barbed wire
melting flowers in a brush fire
spreading petals of metal, stix suburb or ghetto
man we can't see any blue skies
when everybody wants to breakout, breakout
and there's a better way to breakout, breakout
when everybody wants to breakout breakout
stop living with your eyes closed
oh but i keep on saying that there's gotta be something positive
in what seems to be a world full of negative
and there's gotta be something fulfilling to do that isn't self-destructive
and i thought I heard shots fired
and i wonder what a bullet tastes like
and i wonder if it's wisdom or just plain luck,
that i never stepped in front of one
when everybody wants to breakout, breakout
and there's a better way to breakout, breakout
when everybody wants to breakout breakout
stop living with your eyes closed.
now you're living in a cubicle
and you're starring at a blank screen
and you comprehend and you comprehend
but you still don't know what LIFE means...
they'll offer you consumer advertisement lives...
they'll offer you consumer advertisement lives...
they'll offer you consumer advertisement lives...
they're telling you consumer advertisement lies, don't listen
breakout breakout, and the silence hurts too much to keep
silence hurts too much to keep
silence hurts too much to keep
silence hurts too much, too much, too much
if this is the darkest that the night has ever been
if this is the darkest that the city's ever been.
if this is the darkest that the world has ever been
well then we all gotta burn brighter
well then we all gotta burn brighter
well then we all gotta burn brighter
well then we all gotta burn brighter
brighter, brighter, brighter, burn brighter
