Hit or miss, fuck a fight, it's time to live your life
Go ahead, I know I'm right, I'm gonna lay it on the line
Put yourself in my shoes, would you stand up for your rights?
Light 'em up, and knock 'em down, I'm not running scared tonight

I have climbed these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
Because I won't take this anymore (These walls)
I've climbed these walls before (These walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow

I see the walls are closing in, and I feel I am in danger
My enemy is not alone, in the mirror there's a stranger
As I try to break out, my panic led to fear
Hopeless, I am alone, I'm afraid the end is near

The truth doesn't always have to hurt

I have climbed these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
Because I won't take this anymore (These walls)
I've climbed these walls before (These walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow

Stop looking, stop seeing
Now, right now
Stop looking, stop seeing
Now, right now

The truth doesn't always have to hurt

I have climbed these walls before
And I'm not scared anymore
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
Because I won't take this anymore (These walls)
I've climbed these walls before (These walls)
There's a time to lead and a time to follow

I have climbed these walls before
There's a time to lead and a time to follow
I have climbed these walls before
There's a time to lead and a time to follow

And I'll never be the same
And I'll never be the same
Why does the truth always have to hurt?
