You wanna barge in guns blazing and tear down the walls Wanna force in opinions like we care to know But watch from a distance and stand in defiance If you got things to say then don't stand there in silence ‘Cause round here, I'm the one who wears the suit You wanna live in my town, you got to play by my rules But you cover your ears and pretend you don't hear it ‘Cause you hate the way you can't control how we're living And I don't need your senseless love ‘Cause it's not really me you're thinking of What did you think we would all be feeling When you force your way in and start preaching Your one-way, black-and-white belief system Yeah, I can go off. I don't need no reasons This is my town I can burn it down And build it up how I want I don't owe you no reasons Don't come and cause trouble Better stay out of my bubble ‘Cause a house ain't a home till you're comfortable in it If you want a good life, then you live without limits And round here, I'm the one who takes the lead You wanna live in my town, you got to learn this one thing 'Cause I'm not living for you, I'm living for me And I built these walls just to keep you from breaking in 'Cause I don't need your senseless love ‘Cause it's not really me you're thinking of What did you think we would all be feeling When you force your way in and start preaching Your one-way, black-and-white belief system Yeah, I can go off. I don't need no reasons This is my town I can burn it down And build it up how I want I don't owe you no reasons Your one-way, black-and-white belief system Means nothing to me so don’t give me no reasons I don't need your worthless love ‘Cause it's not really me you're thinking of What did you think we would all be feeling When you force your way in and start preaching Your one-way, black-and-white belief system It's built up on lies and baseless accusations ‘Cause this is my town I can burn it down And build it up how I want I don't owe you no reasons Ooh Burn it down I don't owe you no reasons

Have you ever wondered what lies beyond the darkness? Maybe you shouldn't look too close You never know just what you'll find Have you tried other directions? 'Cause it's not where you go It's all in your state of mind You're walking a fine line right on the edge If you fall down the rabbit hole You won't want to believe your eyes You shouldn't play with unknown forces But if you run You might just make it out alive... They'll always find what they're seeking Hiding in the shadows is exactly what they're looking for Seeing is believing Bring them closer, they'll always come back for more Where do you go when the night falls When the moonlight highlights broken bones Standing on the platform As pale as a ghost Waiting, but none of these trains will take you home Oh no They'll always find what they're seeking Hiding in the shadows is exactly what they're looking for Seeing is believing Bring them closer, they'll always come right back for more Did you find what you're seeking? Or are you too afraid now that you realised you are not alone Being is deceiving Once you find the answers, then you'll wish that you didn't know Maybe I'm a believer Maybe I'm a fool My friend, I ain't no preacher But I'll tell it all to you How it's meant to be heard, how it's meant to be known Don't chase things you don't understand, oh They'll always find what they're seeking Hiding in the shadows is exactly what they're looking for Seeing is believing Bring them closer, they'll always come right back for more Did you find what you're seeking? Or are you too afraid now that you realised you are not alone Being is deceiving Once you find the answers, then you'll wish that you didn't know What is it that you’re seeking? Don’t you know it’s too dangerous to be walking here alone Seeing is believing, believe in me Wait all you want, none of these trains will ever take you home What is it that you’re seeking? Why is it that you wish so much to be the chosen one? Seeing is believing, believe in me Where will you go when all you know is as good as dead and gone?
