X lyrics - Dead Letter Circus song

We were chained to our own doubt for a moment in time
Screaming out loud for what we knew that we could be then
How long will you suffer?
Believing that life is unfair in spite
of what you know that you could be here

I keep thinking how long
Should I hold back?
Stand down
Repeat the words that I hoped you would say
At least I tried
You know you lived in doubt

We live safe in our own comfort
Sheltered and blind
Desensitised
Now if only we would risk it
Take our rewards
Think beyond the moment to the edge where our delusion ends
Right now

I keep thinking how long
Should I hold back?
Stand down
Repeat the words that I hoped you would say
At least I tried to know beyond the doubt

You are pointing at the lonely face
Tired
Saying what you can to hold your place
Calm down
Slow down
Before you cross the line

You are more than what your vision states in my world
Safe alone as you wait in your cage, defiant
The only person you have left to blame is hiding
But you see now

Stop thinking how long
Don't hold back
Stand now
Say the words
I know you can change
Defeat the lie
Become the sound
