Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
This spectacle, our collapse It's not a false alarm The ashes settle in I guess, we are the insane As we ignore the mirror's truth Should I join the feast? Should I acknowledge the leash? A future in captivity I'm not who I'm supposed to be Without even trying Let this light explode The bleeding, we deceive them Fuel the life that fades At the height of reason We shouldn't live by your laws Call the swarm Feed them another false hope Without even trying (killing the last scene) Let this night explode Without even trying Find the exit sign and disappear Without even trying (killing the last scene) Let this night explode Without even trying Find the exit sign and disappear
