lyrics

Born to complain, if I could only open up your cage
Would you fly, or sink inside your precious hell?
A lifetime left to dwell, to adorn the corners of your cell
Safe and warm to stay and mourn your former self

Rise with the tide, don’t insist on twisting up inside
Break the chains that bear the weights that drag you down
Before your time runs out, or do you choose to droop and drown?
‘Cause the tide is rising even now

So take a stand, embrace a chance to change
To levitate to leap with all your faith
To fly away, the waves will claim you anyday
Don’t stay stuck on all your old mistakes
The choice is yours to make
Before, before it’s too late
Before you’ve sealed your fate
Before, before it’s too late

So take a stand, embrace a chance to change
To levitate, to leap with all your faith
To fly away, the waves will claim you anyday
Don’t stay stuck on all your old mistakes
The choice is yours to make
How much more convincing could you take
The choice is yours to make
Before, before it’s too late
Before you’ve sealed your fate
Before, before it’s too late
