LYRICS
Go ahead and lie to yourself,
and pretend that you're a ray of light when you're a broken candle.
You're keeping time with yourself,
when'd it all start moving way too fast for you to handle?
You're short on breath but heavy on time,
You lost the words, but you found the rhyme.
It's all just poetry now.

The walls are singing, "Hallelujah, amen."

It's so dark in the room, and the ceilings are high,
You know the feeling, you've been here before,
And it's a broken old pew, and it's an echoing cry,
Don't sell yourself short,
On breath, but heavy on time,
You lost the words but you found the rhyme.
It's all just poetry now.

The walls are singing, "Hallelujah, amen."

See, we don't really care who you are,
We've kind of got this non-exclusive policy of determining exactly
who we open up to and let into our family,
and then who becomes a part of our united mass or harmony,
And that's kind of become the thesis to this song,
Because through suffering, acceptance, grief, and strife,
There's no way that your puzzle piece fits into our puzzle wrong,
because everyone is welcome on this stage that we call life.

And we don't really care who you are,
everyone is capable of looking up and wishing on a star,
so catch it, so contagious, this day-dreamer's disease,
and hope can be your sword, slaying darkness with belief,

And we don't really care who you are,
regardless of how lost you are returning from, regardless of how far,
bring me all the worst of your broken, bruised, insane,
because that's the things with music, when it hits, you feel no pain,
No matter what you did, I promise we forgave it,
When all that's left is your voice, you've got no choice but to raise it,
All you broken hearts, all you dejected dreams,
Just let yourself be free because even broken wings can fly away.

In time you'll find, this life's a painting and you're the artist,
Just open your eyes, it's never too late to clear your canvas,
So paint me jealous, paint me rage, for god's sake paint me anything, just paint.
Your brush awaits.

The walls are singing, "Hallelujah, amen."
The walls sing you to sleep.
One secret meant to keep you safe tonight,
I swear that everything will be alright.

I found this song the day after I was contemplating suicide. I'd screwed everything up, and I was positive no one cared. I prayed to God for strength, for a sign that I was supposed to stay on this earth. He sent me this song; I know it. This song is the reason I'm alive, and without Paradise Fears I might have just been another teenage suicide. But, no. They saved me, and I want to tell my story to everyone. Whenever I'm low, I'll listen to this song, and remember that people DO care.

400,000k views? Why is it only recording MY views?

[Sullaay]

Stay strong! <3 god loves you!

[bethanieisthecoolest]

I am so happy my friend introduced me to Paradise Fears. If she hadn't I might have become suicidal, because I have stress, etc, etc. But If I didn't have Paradise Fears and their music, I don't know where I'd be. Probably lost on the internet not memorizing song lyrics, I guess

[Michelle O]

so inspiring to hear! music really is the best thing to have in life! i'm so glad this song spoke to you the way it did! god bless

[w137bms]

My favorite song ever. I know I can listen to this and it always helps me. Thank you for that. By the way I love that you made a song about a church and finding comfort in going to the church, and also saying that everyone is welcome there. That is a beautiful thing.

[Smeagol BLANK]

I'm more thankful than anything that my friend introduced me to this band. Guys, you are one of the most influential groups I have ever seen. You save not only lives, but spirits, day after day, just by doing what you love. Thank you so much Paradise Fears. Stay gold.

[Ian Benjamin]

I met/discovered you guys during the Rise And Fall Of My Pants tour almost two years ago and I can honestly say it has been one of the greatest moments of my life. Seeing how much effort and love you guys put into your performance was so heartwarming. You guys deserve so much more credit for what you do. There aren't many bands left that care about their fans and music more than the money they make. Thank you, Paradise Fears, for being such a huge, positive influence on my life.

[Bri NightB]

I think either divorce or her "attitude." :(

[pompuruu]

what happened when the girl walked in at 2:24 ? What were her parents talking about?

[brwnshadow]

thats incredible man. God bless you!
