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
