Break The Silence
Exotype Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is the day everything will change
I'm gonna take back what you've taken from me
And just let me be me
You have burned every ounce of trust
Now there is nothing left for us to believe
So I believe in me

This is my time to rise and break the silence
(Paving the way for change)
Only I have the power to stop this cycle
The world is just a breath away

I know now that I need to find myself a way, find myself a way out
And if I don't then we both know that this'll happen again and again
I know now that I need to find myself a way, find myself a way out
And if I don't then we both know that this'll happen again and again
This'll happen again

You told me everything would be okay
It's just a bruise, a little bump and no one cares anyway
No one can hear me scream

This is my time to rise and break the silence
(Paving the way for change)
Only I have the power to stop this cycle
The world is just a breath away

I know now that I need to find myself a way, find myself a way out
And if I don't then we both know that this'll happen again and again
I know now that I need to find myself a way, find myself a way out
And if I don't then we both know that this'll happen again and again
This'll happen again

The walls are drawing closer (Too close is too close, you're too close)
I'm slipping away from myself and there's nothing else left for you and I

The hands of the clock have stopped at zero; it's time to wake up

It's time to wake up
It's time to wake up

I know now that I need to find myself a way, find myself a way out
And if I don't then we both know that this'll happen again and again
I know now that I need to find myself a way, find myself a way out




And if I don't then we both know that this'll happen again and again
This'll happen again
