I Before E, Except After Seacrest

Lay down your arms now attention the passions gone
Don't you know by now this world has fallen beneath us
Please don't be alarmed make sure the coast is clear though
We'll follow you out but I don't think this is the way out
These footsteps are the same I heard someone say
That this is not my day the land is on fire
Race to the closest sea swim to the islands
Hope that it never sinks just admit
It's hard to let go and say your goodbye's but I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you can you prove to me that this was all just a dream
Wake me up I'm free but they decided my release
With my hands around their throat they smile they are laughing
They will never let me out from here never let me go from this place
So I got to tell myself they'll never let me out
If I tried to escape where would I go I have no place of my own
I won't ever leave this stage what am I saying to myself
This time I wrote the line to my own story so it's time to turn the page
And I can't wait for you any longer and I want to know the truth
And I want you inside of my mind
