[English]

Switch the light off

Welcome to the night

What's the problem?

Not gonna make it right

Bite the bullet then pull the trigger

Hold tight

It's a feeling you know

Running on the lights are up in the sky

Nothing matters when you're in the fight

Hold your fire, maybe we can make it alright

You take, take, take, take it for no one

But I don't know what to call it (call it)

When I know I don't care anymore

In the end, we know it's always you

(No time, no more)

Cry out

Will you tell me now?

So we say we want change and never be the same

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Cry out

Oh, I'm burning out

Can't you hear the sound?

(Voices all around)

('Cause we're going down)

In the moment we kept moving from the start

So close, so hard to follow up

All of heaven knows how far we are

I take, take, take, take it for no one

(I love) this feeling

You are the only one that's really lost

(Its suffocating, never gonna get it)

You take, take, take, take it for no one

But I don't know what to call it (call it)

When I know I don't care anymore

In the end I know we'll all be gone

(You and I will be alright)

Cry out

Will you tell me now?

So we say we want change and never be the same

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Cry out

Oh I'm burning out

Can't you hear the sound?

...

One by one

It's taking apart

It's taking a part of me

Can't you hear the voices screaming?

Out loud to me I feel it

We can be the change we needed

Shout it out now

Shout it out now

Can't you hear the voices screaming?

Out loud to me I feel it

We can be the change we needed

Shout it out now

Shout it out now

...

Cry out

Will you tell me now?

So we say we want change and never be the same

And yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Cry out

Oh, I'm burning out

Can't you hear the sound?

(Voices all around)

Can't you hear the sound?

('Cause we're going down)

('Voices all around)

('Cause we're going down)

...
