[Verse 1]
Crying out
Now you can't escape, you are buried in doubt
And it pulls you down
Now you're in too deep, you may never get out
Such an awful fate
[Verse 2]
Tear it down
It's almost too late, is the end coming now?
As you scream out loud
You sever the peace 'til your truth has been found
[Pre-Chorus]
Is there nothing left to follow?
Is there nothing left to steal?
Crying out for something more than I've been shown
Knowing none of this is real
[Chorus]
Don't close your eyes
Something beautiful is still alive
Don't close your eyes
Never turn away and let it die
[Pre-Chorus]
I cannot seem to find the answers
Every truth has slipped away
All that riddles me will never cease to be
Still, I search this world in vain
[Chorus]
Don't close your eyes
Something beautiful is still alive
Don't close your eyes
Never turn away and let it die
[Bridge]
Cry out to save tomorrow
It's not too late
Or your heavy heart will follow
You to the grave
This is not the end
This is not the end
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Don't close your eyes
Something beautiful is still alive
Don't close your eyes
Never turn away and let it die
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
We can't hesitate
Hope it's not too late
For the time has come
What have we become?
Nothing left to do
But deny the truth
