  • Breathe it in
    All the madness around you
    Feelin' like it's the end of days
    Thrown aside, now you know that you want to
    They don't know better anyway

    Yeah
    Everybody's goin' crazy
    Yeah
    Won't be long until we're dead and gone

    A revival, another reprisal
    Hurry up, better not be late
    Time to go, need to know that you're in this
    Take a stand, don't hesitate

    Yeah
    Everybody's goin' crazy
    Yeah
    Won't be long until we're dead and gone

    (Hold on) don't back down, just don't back down
    Don't back down, just don't back down
    (Hold on) don't back down, just don't back down
    Don't back down, just don't back down

    (Hold on) don't back down, just don't back down
    Don't back down, just don't back down
    (Hold on) don't back down, just don't back down
    Don't back down, just don't back down

    Spill the hate, ain't it great, got the word through
    Eyes are open, you made your case
    Now you're done, I don't think that you need to
    They won't know

    Yeah
    Everybody's goin' crazy
    Yeah
    Don't you look away

    Yeah
    Everybody's goin' crazy
    Yeah
    Won't be long until we're dead and, dead and gone
