Текст песни:

Chairs thrown and tables toppled,
Hands armed with broken bottles,
Standing no chance to win but,
We′re not running, we′re not running.

There′s a point I think we′re missing,
It′s in the air we raise our fists in,
In the smiles we cast each other,
My sister, my brother.

About the time we gave up hoping
We′d ever find these locks still open,
Stumbling on stones unturned,
The hurt we feel, we all have earned.

The lines we cross in search of change,
but all they see is treason.

Although we have no obligation to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
{Break out} I won′t be left here
Behind closed doors.

Bonfires burn like beacons,
Guiding the lost and weakened.
Flames dance on crashing waves,
Guiding ships who′ve gone astray

Time out, let′s stop and think this through,
We′ve all got better things to do,
Than talk in circles, run in place,
Answers {are} inches from our face.

Although we have no obligation to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
{Break out} I won′t be left here
Behind closed doors.

Black eyes, broken fingers,
Blood drips and I let it run
down my lips into my swollen gums.
When hope is non-existent,
Our instincts all scream Run,
We never turn our backs or even bite our tongues.

Although we have no obligation to stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
{Break out} I won′t be left here
Behind closed doors.
{x2}

Текст песни:

Wait,
I′m not listening to you now
I wasn′t listening to you then
I know that nothing will be the same again
There′s only so much I can handle
Only so much I can take
Before my knees start to buckle
And my arms start to shake

Have we been here before?
Will we be here again?
I don′t know how much more of me you expect

Standing here right now
And I beg for you to let go
I dread the day you finally do
And I fight for your attention
Too little too late or too much too soon
And how will this plague the time
We share from here on out
And how long will this taint
All these words spilling from my mouth

Have we been here before?
Will we be here again?
I don′t know how much more of me you expect

Standing here right now
Standing here right now
I′m standing!

And have we been here before?
Will we be here again?
I don′t know how much more of me you expect

Текст песни:

To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines
We toss and turn but don′t sleep
Each breath we take makes us thieves
Like causes without rebels
Just talk but promise nothing else

We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
′Cause sometimes dreams just don′t come true
We wait to reap what we are due

To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking away
And the blare of the sirens combing the streets
Chased down like dogs we run from
Your grasp until the sun comes up

We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
′Cause sometimes dreams just don′t come true
Look now at what they′ve done to you

White needles buried in the red
The engine roars and then it gives
But never dies
′Cause we don′t live
We just survive
On the scraps that you throw away

I won′t crawl on my knees for you
I won′t believe the lies that hide the truth
I won′t sweat one more drop for you
′Cause we are the rust upon your gears
We are the insect in your ears
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl... all over you

We sow the seeds to see us through
Our days are precious and so few
We all reap what we are due
Under this sky no longer blue
We bring the dawn long over-due
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl... all over you

Текст песни:

On clearer days I can see the lights from my bedroom door,
On windy nights I can smell the lake as it drifts to me from the shore
The traffic lights silently change a thousand times a day
But I′m still waiting, yeah, and I′m still waiting

And if my hand could block the sun,
Would we ever wake up?
And if I turned back all these clocks,
Would that be time enough?

I can′t remember exactly when this longing began
But I know it wasn′t before the day you touched my hand,
Laugh and shout in blissful daze and numbers are exchanged,
But I′m still waiting, yeah, and I′m still waiting

And if my hand could block the sun,
Would we ever wake up?
And if I turned back all these clocks,
Would that be time enough?

So put your hands where I can see them,
And shut your mouth, I know who you are,
In a world void of feeling or heart
I know that we are the torches in the dark

Let′s break this down, let′s make this count,
Let′s leave this one-horse town, no better time than now
[Repeat x2]

The angels dance like feathers float, they′re here to see and to be seen,
The clock strikes two, the music slows and each one slowly dons their wings,
Once outside they all pair off and hand in hand they leave
But I′m still waiting, yeah, and I′m still waiting

And if my hand could block the sun,
Would we ever wake up?
And if I turned back all these clocks,
Would that be time enough?
Will we ever wake up?

Текст песни:

Simply because you can breathe,
Doesn′t mean you′re alive,
Or that you really live.
This life has taken its toll
And she just doesn′t know,
How much more she can give

But here, at the top of the world, where I raise my hands and I clench my fists,
They stand before me below, demanding the answers with flips of a switch

I don′t understand where you got this idea,
So deeply ingrained in your head
(That this world) is something that you must impress,
Cause I couldn′t care less

A need for revolution′s rising, it comes to the surface, gasping for air,
We’re not putting up with this planet one more day much less one more year

I don′t understand where you got this idea,
So deeply ingrained in your head
(That this world) is something that you must impress,
Cause I couldn′t care less

So here and now, in our rotting nation
The blood, it pours, it′s all on our hands now
We live, in fear, of our own potential
To win, to lose, it′s all on our hands now

And I have an American Dream,
But it involves black masks and gasoline,
One day I′ll turn these thoughts into screams,
At a world turned its back down on me

I don′t understand where you got this idea,
So deeply ingrained in your head
(That this world) is something that you must impress,
Cause I couldn′t care less

Текст песни:

We are the children you reject and disregard
These aching cries come from the bottom of our hearts
You can′t disown us now, we are your own flesh and blood
And we don′t disappear just because your eyes are shut,
Now tell me

Love, Loss
Like a bullets path
Tear, Through
The cavity of my chest
Lights, Out
Because the fuse has blown

As their castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
The crown slips from heads unworthy
As we gain control

This is the family that we crossed or never had
This is a war that was lost the day that it began
′Cause it′s the race we run, but it keeps us at the start
And it′s the song I sung from the bottom of heart,
That′s how we

Read, You
Like a polygraph
Not, One
Single bone in your back
own, Up
To how you let us down

As their castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
The crown slips from heads unworthy
As we gain control

Except for you and me, love
Everyone is the same,
We know, we know, we know, we know
But if to live, we have to be numb
I′d rather know the pain,
I′d rather know, I′d rather know
This happens almost never
But it happened once to me
And this will never be same
The ends we seam together

I′m not after fame and fortune
I′m after you
When I′ve served my time I swear I
will come back for you

As their castles crumble slowly
We watch them fall
The crown slips from heads unworthy
Right on to ours, but I′m after you

Текст песни:

Hold on slow down again from the top now and tell me
everything
I know I′ve been gone for what seems like forever
But I′m here now waiting
To convince you that I′m not a ghost or a stranger
But closer than you think
She said, "just go on to what you
Pretend is your life but
Please don′t die on me"

Wings won′t take me
Heights don′t phase me
So take a step
But don′t look down
Take a step

Now I′m standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I think I′m at the edge now but I could be wrong
I′m standing on the rooftop ready to fall

Perpetual motion the image won′t focus
A blur is all that′s seen
But here in this moment like the eye of the storm
It all came clear to me
I found a shoulder to lean on
An infallible reason to live all by itself
I took one last look from the heights that I once loved
And then I ran like hell

Wings won′t take me
Heights don′t phase me
So take a step
But don′t look down
Take a step

Now I′m standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I think I′m at the edge now but I could be wrong
I′m standing on the rooftop ready to fall

I count the times that I′ve been sorry
I know, I know
Now my compassion slowly drowns
I know, I know
If there′s a time these walls could guard you
I know, I know
Then let that time be right now

Now I′m standing on the rooftop
Now I′m standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I′m standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I think I′m at the edge now but I could be wrong
I′m standing on the rooftop ready to fall

Now I′m standing on the rooftop (ready to fall)
Now I′m standing on the rooftop (ready to fall)
Now I′m standing on the rooftop (ready to fall)
Now I′m standing on the rooftop ready to fall

Текст песни:

So look in my eyes, what will you leave behind once you′ve gone? (so precious)
You got what you came for now I think it′s time to move on (when will you say)
But these ghosts come alive like water and wine
Walk through these streets singing songs and carrying signs,
To them these streets belong

My atonement lasts the best part of eternity (eternity)
Ran out of hands to count the sin that breeds inside of me (inside of me)
Not this hate but the loneliness has left me here into this mess of

My hands are soaking in the blood of angels
On broken wings, they collapse (will I see the break of day!)
Dark clouds exploded and torrents of rain fell
All these lost halos wash away

Head hung from shame we bear a weight that brings me to a crawl (to a crawl)
These years of longing tell of decades of unanswered calls (unanswered calls)
For a change, cause every day we slip and fall
Kicked while were down, our fists clenched into a ball

My hands are soaking in the blood of angels
On broken wings, they collapse (will I see the break of day!)
Dark clouds exploded and torrents of rain fell
All these lost halos wash away

So look in my eyes, what will you leave behind once you′ve gone? (so precious)
You got what you came for now i think it′s time to move on (when will you say)
But these ghosts come alive like water and wine
Walk through these streets singing songs and carrying signs
To them these streets belong

Текст песни:

So come test me, so come break me
So come on intoxicate me
With hands tied behind my back I fight
And wait for you to strike

A new problem we cannot stop them
We′re outnumbered and uncautioned
A rally cry rings out into the night

So pride yourself on what you are
And hold them all to words they can′t take back
I′ve seen a place (it comes) to me in dreams
Where fires die but light still shines for us to see

What did you have to say?
Give me your logic, your definition
The words you twist to justify your position
Of mass starvation and blind airstrikes
Every problem is solved with a fight

Peace won′t be found
Till we′re underground
As long as we live without a sound

So pride yourself on what you are
And hold them all to words they can′t take back
I′ve seen a place (it comes) to me in dreams
Where fires die but light still shines for us to see

Would God bless a murder of the innocents?
Would God bless a war based on pride?
Would God bless a money-hungry government? Noooo!

Would God bless our ineffective court system?
God bless the sweatshops we run.
God bless America?
God bless America? (Noooo)

Текст песни:

Break through the undertow, your hands I can′t seem to
find,
Pollution burns my tongue, cough words I can′t speak so I

Stop my struggling, then I float to the surface,
Fill my lungs with air, then let it out

I give it all, now there′s a reason why I sing,
So give it all, and it′s these reasons that belong to me

Rock bottoms where we live, and still we dig these trenches,

To bury ourselves in them, backs breaking under tension

For far too long these voices, muffled by distances,
It’s time to come to our senses, up from the dirt

We give it all, now there′s a reason why I sing,
So give it all, and it′s these reasons that belong to me

Breathe (breathe), the air we give (give), the life we live
(live), our pulses racing distances,
(Breathe) so wet my tongue (give), break into song (live),
through seas of competition

So please believe your eyes, a sacrifice,
Is not what we had in our minds,
I′m coming home tonight, home tonight

We give it all, now there′s a reason why I sing,
So give it all, and it′s these reasons that belong to me

Today I offer all myself to this I′m living for my dying
wish,
I give it all, now there′s a reason, there′s a reason, to
give it all

Текст песни:

[Spoken:]
(It is, in the end, whatever the Hell I want it to be,
And when I′m through with it, it′s gonna blow a hole,
This wide, straight through the worlds own idea of itself.
They′re throwing bottles at your house.
Come on, lets go break their arms.)

You talk about the way things were,
But I can′t hear what you′re saying.
A time when life was not this hard,
Blessed by the innocence.

Is the best yet to come?
Or did it pass by long ago?
Are we holding on to a thread,
Of something already dead?

I′m not your reason to stand up straight,
Shoulders back, chest out, and eyes raised.
Stepping back, I hesitate.
I can′t let myself be taken.

Is the best yet to come?
Or did it pass by long ago?
Are we holding on to a thread,
Of something already dead?

You can′t change your mind, expect me to care.
You can′t just snap your fingers and expect me to be there.
[2x]
Can′t just change your mind.

The reception fades, the signals breaking up.
And am I moving on or am I giving up?
If you walk away from this with anything,
Live your life today.

@ Rise Against

Текст песни:

If I could paint how I feel,
I′d draw bullseye on your forehead
My anger is not misdirected
Unless it somehow misses you

Time spent on hate, is time gone to waste,
I watch you point and click your life away

So cast the stones that I′ll gladly catch
And I′ll throw them right fucking back,
I stand behind the things I say,
You type the words you won′t say to my face

Time spent on hate, is time gone to waste,
I watch you point and click your life away

It seems you′ve let me go again,
Just like the day you let me in,
The best of intentions, you were never mine to begin with

So step away from the fucking screen,
See a world outside your scene,
Maybe then you will know
And realize the lack of threat you pose

@ Rise Against

Текст песни:

This place rings with echoes of
Lives once lived but now are lost
Time spent wondering about tomorrow
I don’t care if we lose it all tonight
Up in flames, burning bright
Warming the air of the world

“I don’t love you anymore” is all I remember you telling me
Never have I felt so cold
But I′ve no more blood to bleed
′Cause my heart has been draining into the sea

Steps, I take in your footsteps
Aren′t getting me closer to what is left
Of the dreams of what I once claimed to know
Within my bones this resonates
Boiling blood will circulate
Could you tell me again what you did this for?

“I don’t love you anymore” is all I remember you telling me
Never have I felt so cold
But I′ve no more blood to bleed
′Cause my heart has been draining into the sea

Still I wait
With a hope inside of me (inside of me)
So still (so still) I wait (I wait)
Until again we meet
Until again we meet

Within my bones this resonates
Boiling blood will circulate
Could you tell me again what you did this for?

“I don’t love you anymore” is all I remember you telling me
Never have I felt so cold
But I′ve no more blood to bleed
′Cause my heart has been draining into the sea

Still I wait
With a hope (so still) inside of me (I wait)
So still (a hope) I wait (inside of me)

Текст песни:

Buried words
Under lights
Soundtrack to this stagnant life
This meaning lost in translation
Message sucked out of his hands again
This could be my great awakening
But how would I know
Cuz it′s all noise to me
Are these words falling on deaf ears?
Staring at the empty stares
Realize that he no longer cares about the wrong or right
The downward spiral begins tonight
And this could be my great awakening
But how would I know cuz it′s all noise to me
Are these words falling on deaf ears?
This could be my great awakening
But how would I know cuz it′s all noise to me
(Nothing I can do will make you hear)

@ Rise Against

Текст песни:

So please don′t ask me how
I ended up at my wits end
And breaking down
Pages torn from books we never read,
Cause we′re plugged into this grid.
Don′t pull this plug right now,
Or then we′d really have to live.

When I die, will they remember not
What I did, but what I haven′t done?
It′s not the end that I fear with each breath
It′s life that scares me to death.

When we built these dreams on sand
How they all slipped through our hands
This might be our only chance
Let′s take this one day at a time
I′ll hold your hand if you hold mine
The time that we kill keeps us alive.

Your words won′t save me now.
I′m at the edge feeling the sweat drip from my brow.
"Get a grip on yourself" is what they say,
Every hour, every day.
Hands over my ears,
I′ve been screaming all these years!

When I die, will they remember not
What I did, but what I haven′t done?
It′s not the end that I fear with each breath
It′s life that scares me to death.

When we built these dreams on sand
How they all slipped through our hands
This might be our only chance
Let′s take this one day at a time
I′ll hold your hand if you hold mine
The time that we kill keeps us alive.

We came in search of answers!
We left empty handed again!
Shots fired into the sky...
Are now returning!
Where the fuck will you hide?

Hiding from the laughter in the closets of our lives,
But the door hinges are squeaking letting in thin shards of light.
And now a hand′s extending outward,
Quiet comfort they invite,
Do we dare take what they offer?
Do we step into the light?

When I die, will they remember not
What I did, but what I haven′t done?
It′s not the end that I fear with each breath
It′s life that scares me to death.

Текст песни:

Wake me up inside
Tell me there′s a reason
To take another step
To get up off my knees and,
Follow this path of most resistance.
And where ever it takes us,
Whatever it faces and wherever it leads,

So wake me when it′s through,
I don′t want to feel the things that you do (the things that you do)
Don′t worry I′ll be fine
I just don′t want this dream, wake me up inside

Something for the pain, just to kill this feeling
Although we looked awake, inside we′re all still sleeping
And I spent my time here alive, but barely there
Do you believe we′ll ever make it?
Do you think we′ll ever really see?

So wake me when it′s through,
I don′t want to feel the things that you do (the things that you do)
Don′t worry I′ll be fine
I just don′t want this dream, wake me up inside

Wake me up inside
These dreams all die if we let them,
Wake me up inside
Today won′t start if we just give in.
Don′t show me anything!

Just wake me when it′s through,
I don′t want to feel the things that you do (the things that you do)
Don′t worry I′ll be fine
I just don′t want this dream, wake me up inside
