[Verse 1]
There's shadows on the walls
Of moments far too troubling to recall
All the settings and the scenes that signaled suffering
Impassioned pleas that ended in a whisper
And all the lessons learned
Were they worth the ash from all the bridges burned?
Standing, stomping in the damage and the ruins of
A slip of tongue with tragic consequences

[Chorus]
But I think that we've all made our gravest mistakes
On the greatest intentions that we're too stubborn to let go
With this little time before I go
I'll open up my mouth and scream it out
To cast my voice into the crowd

[Verse 2]
Now that you're alone
Is it really so impossible to know?
All the actions and reactions pinned against each other
Never really end just how you wanted

[Chorus]
But I think that we've all made our gravest mistakes
On the greatest intentions that we're too stubborn to let go
And with this little time before I go
I'll open up my mouth and scream it out
To cast my voice into the crowd
[Bridge]
And I know (I know) that all of this will come and go
So open up your mouth and scream it out
To cast your voice into the crowd
(Don't let the world, don't let the world beat you down)
(And don't let the world, don't let the world beat you down)

[Chorus]
So open up your mouth and scream it out
To cast your voice into the crowd
(Don't let the world, don't let the world beat you down)
So open up your mouth and scream it out
To cast your voice into the crowd
(Don't let the world, don't let the world beat you down)
So open up your mouth and scream it out
To cast your voice into the crowd
