  • On pins and needles we are waiting for the fall
    We count the days scratching lines on the wall
    Wait in the wings at someone's beck and call
    No longer recognize the place that I call home
    No longer recognize this face as my own
    Somewhere this fate, I lost control

    We backed down, we took no for answers far too long
    We felt those walls close around

    I don't want to be here anymore
    I don't want to be here anymore

    I don't want to be here anymore (be here anymore)
    I know there's nothing left worth staying for
    Your paradise is something I've endured, whoa whoa
    See I don't think I can fight this anymore (fight this anymore)
    I'm listening with one foot out the door
    And something has to die to be reborn
    And I don't want to be here anymore

    On hand and foot we answered every single call
    And weathered every day like passing storms
    But when we break we will all be gone (we will all be gone)

    Won't back down, won't take no for answers anymore (hey hey, hey hey)
    These walls close, we pace back and forth

    I don't want to be here anymore (be here anymore)
    I know there's nothing left worth staying for
    Your paradise is something I've endured, whoa whoa
    See I don't think I can fight this anymore (fight this anymore)
    I'm listening with one foot out the door
    But something has to die to be reborn
    I don't want to be here anymore

    The point where we break is closer everyday
    But where do we go? But where do we go?

    I don't want to be here anymore
    I don't want to be here anymore

    I don't want to be here anymore (be here anymore)
    I know there's nothing left worth staying for
    Your paradise is something I've endured, whoa whoa
    See I don't think I can fight this anymore (fight this anymore)
    I'm listening with one foot out the door
    But something has to die to be reborn
    And I don't want to be here anymore

    (We need a better way, we need to let go)
    (We need a better way, we need to let go)
    Anymore (we need a better way, we need to let go)
