The Protomen - Breaking Out

A demo of their upcoming album.


Lyrics:

This city doesn't know what's coming
She doesn't feel the heat
This city doesn't know what hit her
What knocked her out into the street
This city's thinking that it's over
She's already fast asleep
I'm breaking outta here tonight
I am, I am, I am ready

We're given only what we need
Only the chance to survive
And even then its a coin toss
A roll of the dice
There's gotta be something better
Something that feels more alive
So, I'm breaking outta here tonight
I'm breaking outta here

You gotta feel it, baby
Feel it with me, girl
It feels like something's gonna change
There's no use putting it in drive
If all the wheels are stuck
There's something wrong with us
Like this whole city wants to scream
But no one makes a sound
You gotta feel it, baby
So I'm gonna find out what it is
And I'm gonna tear it down

The engine's running, babe, we don't have time for goodbye
I know you can't come with me, I see that look in your eye
So kiss me fast, 'cause theres no time to lose
Leave the light on, I'll come back for you
When everything is said and done, I swear I'm gonna make it right
I'm breaking out of here tonight

And I'm so tired of giving up
I am so tired of giving in
You wake up knowing things should change
Not knowing where to begin
This city won't say where she's going
She won't speak of where she's been
But I'm breaking out of here tonight
Break out

Oooooooh, Don't turn your back on the city

Say a prayer for all the children still sleeping
Say a prayer for all the fathers who still remember
Say a prayer for all the girls that learned to stand up
Say a prayer for all the boys who won't surrender

Sometimes I just wanna drive until the streets run out
I want to burn until there's nothing left to burn about
This city's waiting for a better day
When I get back there will be hell to pay
If I'm the only one left here I will not be afraid to fight
I'm breaking out of here tonight

I feel a fever coming on and burning out of control
Then I hear nothing but the static
For years I have heard nothing but the static on the radio
So if you year my voice outside these walls
If you can hear me sending out this message tonight
There may be silence in the signal but
-- a little guiding light

Don't turn your back on the city

6 Days before Act II's release! This is the only time that I wish that Time would move by faster! I can hardly wait!

[bradley364]

Haven't told you guys before?!!

The day is at hand! Watch the sky, for when the album is released, the airdrops will begin, blaze the vile AA defenses of a certain Dr. W.

[Sabishiikouen]

New song by the protomen on their website, uploaded to youtube and added it as a video response. Share the news!

[bradley364]

You did well brother!

[lfgalbraith]

Tonight is one of the best in memory, because I discovered this band! I have taken the emotional journey through the CD twice now back to back lol...

Sounds gay, I know, but there is some unparalleled awesomenes that I have never experienced with any other band! Okay, this protomen newb has shared his thoughts =D

[bradley364]

Welcome to the fold brother.

Spread the word.

[AnarchalPatriarch]

This is what makes YouTube worth visiting: seeing these well-thought out educated comments. Your intelligence just blows me away, sometimes.

[Schloonktapooxis]

@FluffyBunniesOnFire i will do it and record the outcome

[Arutoa]

@FluffyBunniesOnFire You're under arrest for causing too many cases of liver poisoning. Sniper Joe v2 shall be sent to capture you, let's hope no badass motorcyclists interfere this time.

[FluffyBunniesOnFire]

I dare anyone to take a shot every time the Protomen say "the city" or "this city" in any one of their songs.

[frankrogershubba]

I completely agree. I just downloaded this mp3 at mp3thatvid..net

[Darkmage1293]

@Sparx1 I thought the same thing. Both work. :D

And I like this version a little more than the album version...its not as intense; its like an actual song, rather than a dramatic rock-opera. So if you wanna sing along dramatically, you take the album; but if you want the song, you take this one.

[Madeline365]

i hate this :P my boyfriends version is better.

[Parkerkun]

Breaking out.... because I lost control of my life.

[DebyCedars]

Don't turn your back on the city

[BeGrunge]

Dont forget the second. His death was just as tragic as the First...
