Ground Zero Lyrics

[Chorus]
The fights, the falls, the scars and broken bones
Beneath it all, the cracks begin to show
The hurt, the hate, we're no better off alone
Than a time bomb
Don’t let it explode

[Interlude]
Ooh, drop the beat

[Verse 1]
There's a voice in my head
Telling me I'm not right, wanting me to fall
There’s a place inside me
Where everything is dark, I don't care anymore
There's a thousand reasons
Telling me it's too bright living in the limelight
Every choice is mine to bear, mine alone

[Pre-Chorus]
Flawless is a fiction, imperfection makes us whole
The weight that holds you down, let it go

[Chorus]
The fights, the falls, the scars and broken bones
Beneath it all, the cracks begin to show
The hurt, the hate, we're no better off alone
Than a time bomb
Don't let it explode
[Verse 2]
I've got friends beside me
Telling me it's all right, waiting on my call
There’s a place they showed me
Where I can find peace in the eye of the storm
There’s a thousand reasons
Telling me it's not right giving up the fight
I got you beside me when my back’s against the wall

[Pre-Chorus]
Flawless is a fiction, imperfection makes us whole
The weight that holds you down, let it go

[Chorus]
The fights, the falls, the scars and broken bones
Beneath it all, the cracks begin to show
The hurt, the hate, we're no better off alone
Than a time bomb

[Pre-Chorus]
Flawless is a fiction, imperfection makes us whole
The weight that holds you down, let it go, go, go
Break through

[Breakdown]
Break through
Live like life depends on it
Live like life depends on
[Chorus]
The fights, the falls, the scars and broken bones
Beneath it all, the cracks begin to show
The hurt, the hate, we're no better off alone
Than a time bomb
Don't let it explode

[Outro]
Explode
Don’t let it explode
Don't let it, don't let it explode

Genius Annotation

During the Brussels concert Winston gived a speech saying :
“We’ve been away for I think 3 years now, it’s been like 3 years at least since we played here and a lot has happened in this world, and a lot has happened for us as people. We live in a place, at a time where the darkness, the darkness on the outside is echo to the darkness inside of us and it is very very hard for everyone at this precise time in the world. And there’s one thing, there’s one thing that we have learned as a band which I thought we put into the music, that we have learned through this : we need to be more open as people, we need to talk more with each other, we need to comunicate, we need to be together. This last couple years has been lonely as hell and I can always go back to that we know how dark this shit can be, so please if there’s one thing you do when you walk away from here : be a little more open with your mouth, share with your friends, share with your family, if you’re doing something tough reach out and ask for help, that’s what this song is about.”
