Behind Closed Doors

Chairs thrown and tables toppled Hands armed with broken bottles Standing no chance to win but We're not running, we're not running There's a point I think we're missing It's in the air we raise our fists in In the smiles we cast each other My sister, my brother About the time we gave up hoping We never find these locks still open Stumbling on stones unturned The hurt we feel, we all have earned The lines we cross in search of change But all they see is treason Although we have no obligation To stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy We will survive Break out, I won't be left here Behind closed doors Bonfires burn like beacons Guiding the lost and weakened Flames dance on crashing waves Guiding ships who've gone astray Time out, let's stop to think this through We've all got better things to do Than talk in circles, run in place Answers are inches from our face Although we have no obligation To stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy We will survive Break out! I won't be left here Behind closed doors Black eye, broken fingers Blood drips and I let it run Down my lips into my swollen gums When hope is nonexistent Our instincts all scream "Run!" We never turn our backs or even bite our tongues Although we have no obligation To stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy We will survive Break out, I won't be left here Behind closed doors (Behind closed doors) Although we have no obligation To stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy We will survive Break out, I won't be left here Behind closed doors
