There's this kid I used to know

All mixed up and all alone

A prisoner in his own home

Killing time but it moves so slow

Numbed by the violence

Deafened by the silence

The only place he wants to be is anywhere but here.

Break out, tear the walls down

Don't stop, don't give up now

'cause nothing's gonna change

If you're waiting to be saved

Break out, never look back

It won't always hurt you this bad

Something's gonna change

You're gonna find your way.

There's this kid I used to know

Made a dream world of his own

Fighting off the sticks and stones

But the deepest scars they never show

Got a chip on his shoulder, big as a boulder

The only place he wants to be is anywhere but here.

Break out, tear the walls down

Don't stop, don't give up now

'cause nothing's gonna change

If you're waiting to be saved

Break out, never look back

It won't always hurt you this bad

Something's gonna change

You're gonna find your way.

The only place he wants to be is anywhere but here.

Break out, tear the walls down

Don't stop, don't give up now

'cause nothing's gonna change

If you're waiting to be saved

Break out, never look back

It won't always hurt you this bad

Something's gonna change

You're gonna find your way.
