lyrics

What is the sound that is waking you up at night?
What is the sound that's gonna wake you up tonight?

You're all alone and always second best,
You gotta get these feelings from your chest,
Before it starts to explode.

This is the time, it's now or never again,
Are you gonna run from yourself or just embrace the pain?
The one that sets you free.

You're waking up to sounds of falling lead,
or is it just the pain that is in your head?
Or it's the new rain falling from the same old sky,
You're left to wonder about the reasons why.

We're all alone, it's all the same as the years go passing by,
No hope ahead, nothing left to lose, you gotta give it one more try.

You're growing up and learn to love your fear,
You don't look over your shoulder or shed a tear,
About your reckless past.

You wanna sing, you wanna cry,
You wanna bleed you wanna live, you wanna die but now you don't know how,
You even don't know why.

You're breaking down again to sounds of falling lead,
But it's still just the pain that dwells in your head,
It's the new rain falling from the same old darkened sky.

We're all alone, it's all the same as the years go passing by,
No hope ahead, nothing left to lose, you gotta give it one more try.
Every broken life, every broken heart, every tear of blood you didn't spill in a fight,
Every tear uncried, every song unsung, all of this is gonna wake you up tonight.

This is the sound that's gonna wake you up tonight,
This is the sound of your life.
