The opening track and second single from The Word Alive’s debut album Deceiver.
Vocalist Telle Smith described the theme of the song:
myself and the rest of the band trying to overcome all of our obstacles and with the help of our fans, rallying together to create something amazing. In the song I...
I'm the king of the world, and it's crumbling down
All around me falls the ruins of my enemies
You can't control me
Or can you not see?
You can't control me
It's time to admit defeat
When I speak, you listen to me
And all we need is a release, a reason to be and a fight in which we believe
We are the ones who save ourselves, don't think these walls will keep us out
Don't abandon, don't abandon what we've started
'Cause I believe in you
In fighting for whatever I have to
You tremble and grow weak
It'll take everything you have just to breathe
You're begging, you're begging, "Let me out!"
You're begging, you're begging, plead for mercy
You'll beg you'll beg you'll scream
Fall to your knees
You've failed me for the last time
What's yours is mine
Because I'm taking over
And all we need is a release, a reason to be and a fight in which we believe
We are the ones who save ourselves, don't think these walls will keep us out
Don't abandon, don't abandon what we've started
'Cause I believe in you
In fighting for whatever I have to
(Don't abandon what we've started)
'Cause I believe in you, in fighting for whatever I have to
