I built these roads

To find a new hope

A real home

I've been choked

I've felt the weight of a thousand thorns

To hit this stage when I want nothing more



I built these walls to home the family of the broke and burned

We fell with the things we couldn't see

He picked us back up with his hands that bleed

I know it's hard

I know this pain...

When the ones you love kick you to the streets



We are the bruised and broken

And we refuse to be like you

We are the bruised and broken

And we refuse to be like you

We are the ones who are bruised and broken

We all refuse to be like you



Just open your eyes

There is not much to see

This world is full of hate

And it's the love we need

We won't run, this is our destiny



We are the bruised and broken

And we refuse to be like you

We are the bruised and broken

And we refuse to be like you

We are the ones who are bruised and broken

We all refuse to be like you



Oh I can't seem to shake this sight

The sky it burned

And it rained of ashes

We are the bruised and broken

We are the bruised and broken

We are the bruised and broken

And we refuse to be like you
