              Intro: C#5 ( D5 C#5 ) ( A5 F#5 C#5 ) (2x)
 
C#5                         ( A5 F#5 C#5 ) 
Are you still lost tonight? 
                       ( A5 F#5 C#5 ) 
Living but dead inside 
                         ( A5 F#5 C#5 ) 
This is the proclamation 
                         ( A5 F#5 C#5 ) 
This is the call to rise 
                      ( A5 F#5 C#5 ) 
Are you abused alone? 
                          ( A5 F#5 C#5 ) 
Walking with broken bones 
                                  ( A5 F#5 C#5 ) 
If you feel you've been forgotten 
Let this song guide you home 
 
 
C#5  A5              E5 
     We are the disillusioned 
                 D5           C#5 
     We've been left wanting more 
     A5               E5 
     Before every aspiration 
                D5 
     Hits the floor 
 
(Chorus) 
C#5      A5       E5   D5 
Hold on for your life 
C#5     A5        E5        D5 
All we feel is so far from alive 
     C#5               A5 
The damned are done believing 
          E5                 D5 
And the cursed can dream no more 
    C#5     A5       E5 
So hold on for your life 
         D5               C#5 
Because only the strong survive 
 
(Intro) 
 
C#5                              ( A5 F#5 C#5 ) 
They tell you what you should be 
                                 ( A5 F#5 C#5 ) 
They sell you the plastic dreams 
                          ( A5 F#5 C#5 ) 
Opinions are all provided 
                             ( A5 F#5 C#5 ) 
But nothing is what it seems 
                        ( A5 F#5 C#5 ) 
I dare you take control 
Cause empty are hands 
                          ( A5 F#5 C#5 ) 
And bruised are the souls 
                                ( A5 F#5 C#5 ) 
Of those who show no resistance 
Of those who are weak below 
 
C#5  A5              E5 
     We are the disenchanted 
          D5                   C#5 
     Who die with each passing day 
         A5           E5 
     No one here understands us 
           D5 
     So I say 
 
(Chorus) 
 
C#5 B5 A5 (2x) 
 
A5          E5/G# 
How will it feel? 
C#5                          B5    A5 
To live your lie until your dying day 
                 E5/G# 
Where nothing is real 
C#5 
As we sacrifice 
          B5      A5 
Bending until we break 
            E5/G# 
It's been revealed 
C#5 
Hold on for your life 
                 B5       A5 
Dreams are not theirs to take 
E5/G#                     C#5 
Dreams are not theirs to take 
 
C#5 A5 E5 D5 (2x) 
 
(Chorus)
