You can't be forced to live a lie If it lives inside you It will come alive Let go of the fear you hold inside Your time is now When the smoke clears will the regret take hold? You could have been so much more A taste of the poison you swallow Left you broken, hopeless and hollow Fight the fear of the unknown Rip it up and start again Don't let your dreams descend By the burden of how they end Conflicted, shattered by the lack of self-respect Your time is now You can't be forced to live a lie If it lives inside you, it will come alive You can't be forced to live a lie A life you will live to despise I won't look back in the face of defeat Raise your fists and rise up to your feet Do you have something to prove? What have we really got to lose? Fight the fear of the unknown Rip it up and start again Don't let your dreams descend By the burden of how they end You can't be forced to live a lie If it lives inside you, it will come alive You can't be forced to live a lie A life you will live to despise (I won't look back in the face of defeat) (Raise your fists and rise up to your feet) There will be no light to guide the way Take control of what you make your own Don't live a lie Suffering is bound to overcome when we fall You have to learn from it You have to take control Don't live a lie Don't live a lie
