We Are
Hollywood Undead Lyrics

We are, we are
We may appear to be different, but we are all the same

We are made from broken parts
Our failures and struggles are what define us

We are broken from the start
We are imperfect beings, always striving for something better

And our hearts, our hearts
Despite our flaws, we all have a beating heart

They were beating in the dark
Sometimes our hearts are hidden from others, but they still beat on

'Cause we are, we are
No matter what, we are all human

We are built from broken parts
Our past experiences and struggles shape who we are

If you can lose it all, then welcome to Broadway
Success is fleeting, always be prepared for failure

Silicone dreams and your name on the Marque
The glitz and glamour of Hollywood is not all it's cracked up to be

And I can hold it up, but I hold it up hardly
Putting on a brave face can be difficult when facing the pressures of the world

It's hotter here in hell, but it's getting real dark see
The world can be difficult and unforgiving, but we must persevere

So all you sick and the bitterness of the lonely
We must not forget about those who are struggling in their own personal battles

To all you overdosed and you miles of coke fiends
Drugs and addiction can be all-consuming and dangerous

And every step, another step, you're walking on my dreams
We must be mindful of the consequences our actions have on others

And every breath, another breath you're breathing when I breathe
We are all connected and rely on each other for survival

I watch them all come, gotta watch the rest go
People come and go in life, but we must hold on to what's important

I'm married to the devil in the city of angels
Los Angeles can be a treacherous place, full of temptation and danger

So come all you wicked to the world of the empty
Even those who feel lost and hopeless can find a place in this world

I know I need it all, so baby don't tempt me
We must be mindful of our desires and resist temptation

I'm knocking on our door, nope, nobody sent me
We must be bold and assertive in order to achieve our goals

Just checking all you bitches like I'm checking this check sheet
We must be vigilant and not let others take advantage of us

So put your hats on, Lohner don't get soft
We must be strong and resilient in the face of adversity

You can see God, when I take my mask off
We must not hide behind facades, but be our true selves

The fame is your best friend, you love it no questions
Fame can be addictive and all-consuming

Beating down the door is the face of rejection
The pursuit of fame often involves facing rejection and disappointment

And once again, it's a tragedy anthem
Our struggles and failures can be turned into art and inspiration

We never wanted more, we never needed your blessing
We must not let others' opinions dictate our worth and success

Who could give a fuck about a kid with a dream?
Others may doubt us, but we must never stop pursuing our dreams

'Cause stories aren't told about the ones unseen
It's important for those who are overlooked to have their stories told

With a gleam in his eye, his middle finger to the sky
We must be defiant and unafraid to challenge authority

Crooked smile on his face, he doesn't think he can die
We must have confidence and be fearless in the face of adversity

So grab a pick and an axe, 'cause we try, we cry
We must be willing to work hard and persevere through our struggles

Into the bottle of Jack, we die inside
We must be careful not to let substance abuse consume us

So when you look in his eyes, what you see now?
We must look beyond the surface and see the humanity in others

Murder the monster you've made and watch him bleed out
We must confront and overcome our inner demons

We're in a life where it's kill or lose
Life can be difficult and unforgiving, but we must keep fighting

Just lie motherfucker till you hear the truth
Sometimes we must fake it until we make it

From under the street, through the gutters of youth
We must never forget our humble beginnings and where we came from

Just cry motherfucker yeah, I'm talking to you
It's okay to show vulnerability and let your emotions out

(No one) From the city of angels (No one)
Despite the glamour of Los Angeles, it can still feel lonely and isolating

An empty vessel of devils (Can take away what's ours) is there no one to save us?
Our dreams and aspirations can be threatened by the destructive forces of the world

Through my eyes see the world that you gave us
We must see the world as it is and strive to make it better

(And our hearts, our hearts) From the city of angels
Even in a city full of temptation, our humanity remains

An empty vessel of devils ('Cause we are, we are) Is there no one to save us?
Our struggles can make us feel alone and hopeless

Through my eyes see the world that you gave us
Despite the challenges we face, we must appreciate the beauty in the world

(We are, we are)From the city of angels
We may be products of our environment, but we can still rise above it

An empty vessel of devils
We must be careful not to become consumed by the darkness of the world

(We are, we are) is there no one to save us?
We must learn to rely on ourselves and each other in order to overcome our struggles

Through my eyes see the world that you gave us
We must never lose sight of what's important and what we're fighting for
