[Verse 1: Jimmy Skoog]
Can you hear me, I'm calling you
It's getting hard to see the darkness through
Summer just left us with autumn blues
And I'm having a hard time to follow through

But when they Photoshop and auto tune
Emotions off, take out all the truth
We go for that dream and chase that feeling (cause)
When we were kids that was all we knew (HEY!)

Always felt this adrenaline rush
In my soul that's lead me to kicking up dust
Doctor prescribing medicine that
He said would keep me from giving a fuck (w'the fuck?)

Just keep on living it up
When they push you down, just turn everything up
What, am I supposed to be giving this up?
All the things that made me, you're kidding me, huh?

[Chorus: Bastille]
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
[Verse 2: Jimmy Skoog]
We don't care what they say
When they say we're failures
Cause it is up us now
And only we can save us

Can't shake us, sh-shake us
Can't hold us down or contain us
We just keep marching
Can't knock us down, they won't break us, SO

This is it boys, this is war
What the hell are we waiting for?
Misunderstood and misinformed
We've been living our lives but can't take no more

We will fight till they make us kings
And make sure when they hear our names, they cringe
Tear that roof till its caving in
And we won't look back we're just taking wing

[Chorus]

[Bridge](2x)
Oh, where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
[Pre-Chorus]
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Great clouds all over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

[Chorus]
