This was just the beginning
It was on till the end
Before you begin to criticize us

All our blood, sweat and tears
Laid out on the table, for your judgment
If you only knew how much this meant to us
You would reconsider
Reconsider
Your choice of words
Reconsider
Your choice of words

This will be a new chapter for us
And I am the novelist, the novelist
My words will bend and break you

I can't do this, night after night after night
I can't remember the last time, this was not on my mind
Inspired by the sound of the voices in the background, or even
The wind against my skin

These lies are filled
With greed and hatred
These lights that guide us are [bad word] damning
I left here all alone?
Damning
I left here all alone?

This will be a new chapter for us
And I am the novelist, the novelist
My words will bend and break you

I can't do this, night after night after night
I can't remember the last time, this was not on my mind
Inspired by the sound of the voices in the background, or even
The wind against my skin
Against my skin

So fixated
Everyone seems so blinded by the light
Everyone needs to wake the [bad word] up
So fixated
Everyone seems so blinded by the light
Everyone needs to wake the [bad word] up
And have a mind of your own

And now you're broke
Your wall's invaded
And my words surround you
You, you can know
Begin to criticize
Put aside, put aside
