Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Once again I hear the sound
Of accusation bearing down
Only meant to drown us out
And make us all afraid.

Verse 2:
Listen as the story's told
Of empty fears and baseless wrongs
How we're all just too far gone
And I'm the one to blame
'Cause I don't feel the same

Chorus 1:
I'm wide awake with my compass aiming true north
Not afraid to resist the lies that I've been told
Still I remain standing on this road I've already been down
And I've gotta break out.

Verse 3:
I used to pray to save my soul
And beg to hear which way to go
Scared if I were on my own
There might be hell to pay
But that won't make me stay

Chorus 2:
I'm wide awake with my compass aiming true north
Not afraid to replace this life I had before
Still I remain standing on this road I've already been down
And I've gotta break out.

Tag:
I've gotta break out
Before I can be found

Chorus 3:
I'm wide awake with my compass aiming true north
Not afraid to embrace this life I've never known
Still I remain standing on this road I've already been down
And I've gotta break out.

I'll never believe now....
'Till I know it deep down....
