We were young
Out of touch
Back when it was different, growing up
We're the ones
That would run
When it's said and done, yeah, it was us
We were free
You and me
It's all we ever needed to believe
Piece by piece
Breaking me
They told us how we should be, and we agreed
Hey, brother
How you living?
Night after night in your own prison
There's nothing truer that's ever been said
When you live on hope alone
Don't go holding your breath
Don't go holding your breeeaaath
You and I
Will survive
But ask me if I knew I'd pay the price
Hanging on
By a thread
The voices in my head stop making sense
On the edge
Once again
Living in the moment 'til the end
Every night
Of our lives
I wonder if it'd been right the whole damn time
Hey, brother
How you living?
Night after night in your own prison
There's nothing truer that's ever been said
When you live on hope alone
Don't go holding your breath
Don't go holding your breeeaaath
Can you say you found the voice that's deep inside
Deep inside?
Drank along as they came in, made up our minds
Made up our minds
Can you say that they have been right all this time
Every time?
Feels like forever since we
Built our cages (We built our cages)
Of empty phrases
Hey, brother
How you living?
Night after night in your own prison
There's nothing truer that's ever been said
Take a look at yourself, try to save what's left
Hey, brother
How you living?
When you live on hope alone
Don't go holding your breath
Don't go holding your breeeaaath
Don't go holding your breath
Don't go holding your breeeaaath
Don't go holding your breath
Don't go holding your breath
Don't go holding your breath
Don't go holding your breath
