We are the old
and we'll always struggle
though we're not alone
our voices are mute
and there's no use shouting
they'll all walk away
and claim that we're children
with too much time to play
My dear
there's a mountain left to climb
and if you don't make it
I will be your cast, your crutch, your cure from the worst
We are the children
we do what we want
we will not take prisoners
in the forts we construct
and while we're still learning
how to love and defend
against all those monsters
hiding under our beds
we'll continue to fight
My dear
there's a mountain left to climb
and if you die trying
I will be the air to breathe you back to life
So you shouldn't cut me loose
you shouldn't clip your wings
I can't tie you to the ground
before you float away.

I'll untie your knots and cut your strings
save you from that evil king
who took your house, your horse, and all your gold
a cautious liar won't make me cold
And when soldiers sleep
our boat will carry out to sea
take us far away from land
so I can slowly drop you in, I'll still miss you
You're dressed in white but your eyes are red
flowing like a river because you know you'd rather be at the bottom of the sea
the crown you wear won't heal the marks he drew on you
don't let him turn you into the most beautiful martyr
When soldiers sleep
our boat will carry out to sea
take us far away from land
so I can slowly drop you in, I'd still miss you
And I'll wait
just to find that you left behind
a fisherman taking what was mine
his anchor drawn and his line still casting for more so I'll go and I'll find
the kings castle that you reside
and take you captive like a fish on wire
and set you free in the sea
because it's never too late

Where have you been?
There's blood on your hand and you're soaking in gasoline
The fire inside is raging...
(Run)
They're all coming for you
(Run)
They're all coming for you
(Run)
They're all coming for everything you've got to give
They're all coming for...
Where did you go psycho boy?
Everyone is hot on your tail you should skip town now.
If you don't give up then we're all going down...
(Run)
They're all coming for you
(Run)
They're all coming for you
(Run)
They're all coming for everything you've got to give
They're all coming for us...
We're sinking
though we're treading like hell the current's destined to pull us in safely
Follow my voice
I won't lead you astray
Follow my lead
I've got nothing to gain
You're sinking
and while this boat has a hole you know that you're not going to rest until
you're sleeping
and while your nocturnal movies play I'm not going to wait to see the end...

An old man dying in a living room
a young girl crying because she doesn't know what to do
An inmate looking for a second chance
a victim praying that his eyes will close again
A fish out of water trying to catch some air
school missing class because their teacher wasn't there
A young girl dying in a living room
an old man crying because there's nothing he can do
but stay until it's over
because it'll all be over soon
(Mother)
I won't let you...
(grieve)
(Father)
I won't let you down
(Brother)
I won't let you...
(bleed)
(Lover)
I won't let you down

Kiddo & the Mamba

You walked in
(Right on time it began...)
through the front gates
(deceiving and blending in...)
discretely and secretively
(careful with each moving hand...)
a sound wasn't made
(we can only hope for what's better than death)
But as you addressed the main lobby
your voice raised
shredding the air like a thousand grenades
Then I'll wait for the moment when you turn away and I'll
catch you
and hold you
and destroy
your getaway car
Lets tear apart
(There was no time to be brave)
all of the crimes you tried to start
(cowering as we laid on the floor)
and how I put out the flames, put down the gun,
(eyes only filled with pain)
don't worry babe it can all be undone
(we almost felt sorry for what he had done)
That's all you can say in this moment before we run out of time
if you stick to your guns we won't make it out alive
So lets wait for the moment when you turn away and I'll
catch you
and hold you
and destroy
your getaway car
