  • This heart don't count on the wicked
    These hands don't fight at all
    This mind don't do what it's told to
    These eyes don't cry at all
    Don't cry at all

    These eyes don't cry at all

    This heart don't count on the wicked
    We face this world alone
    When all they want is to break you
    Turn anger into hope

    We're in this city of villains
    I walk these streets alone
    When everyone is a stranger
    Their eyes turn me to stone
    Turn me to stone
    Your eyes turn me to stone

    This heart don't count on the wicked
    We face this world alone
    When all they want is to break you
    Turn anger into hope

    I'm telling you tonight I swear to tear out these nails from the cross I bear
    For giving you control of me

    This heart don't count on the wicked
    This anger turns to hope
    It turns to hope

    Calling from the mountain tops
    Rain is falling from the sky above
    They surround you with the darkest thoughts
    'Til you drown in pessimistic talk

    You say you don't care if the atom drops
    You say you don't care if the world is lost
    They'll never break you if you're strong enough
    They'll never change you if you turn your anger into hope

    This heart don't count on the wicked
    We face this world alone
    When all they want is to break you
    Turn anger into hope

    I'm telling you tonight I swear to tear out these nails from the cross I bear
    For giving you control of me

    This heart don't count on the wicked
    This anger turns to hope

    We turn it to hope
    We turn it to hope
    We turn it to hope
    We turn it to hope
    We turn it to hope
    We turn it to hope
    We turn it to hope
    We turn it to hope
    We turn it to hope Writer/s: Aaron Solowoniuk, Ben Kowalewicz, Ian D'sa, Jon Gallant
