Hey, how long till the music drowns you out?
Don't put words up in my mouth.

After all you put me through


You'd think I'd despise you


But in the end I wanna thank you


'Cause you made that much stronger

I wish I could be, as cool as you

And I wish I could say, the things you do

They said if you don't let it out
You're gonna let it eat you away
I'd rather be a cannibal, baby
Animals like me don't talk anyway

Now what (What)
We're taking control
We get what we want
We do what you don't

Now I've got a confession,

When I was young I wanted attention,

And I promised myself that I'd do anything,

Anything at all for them to notice me.

Go on and put your hands up
When times are hard you stand up

Are you calling me?
Are you trying to get through?
Are you reaching out for me, like I'm reaching out for you?

So everybody just follow me.
Cuz we need a little controversy,
Cuz it feels so empty without me

I can taste the tension like a cloud of smoke in the air,
Now I'm breathing like I'm running cause you're taking me there

Oh, I've been changing,
You're still waiting on me.
Never let go, never let go
She said, "You'll never grow up."

I've tried playing it cool
But when I'm looking at you
I can never be brave

This holiday will make us believe that
We're exactly where we're supposed to be

This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?

Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we used to be
