Текст песни:

Aside from the name that holds us together
Now I think we′d fall apart
It’s the years we′ll pretend we′ve forgotten
That separate our hearts

And I don′t remember the way this was
But the pictures prove I knew you once
And where is the source of our mistakes

I′m afraid one day we′ll drift so far
We’ll wake up not knowing where we are
These words accomplish nothing if I′m gone

Текст песни:

As I watch your life go up in flames,
You’ll swear up and down you′d like to change
But when the sun sinks slowly into the sky,
Now you′re right
Where you started again with nothing to say,
Without an argument or case
And when it′s said and done and done and said,
And now what′s another day?

I can feel these changes right before my eyes
I see a dying fire inside your eyes, inside your eyes

When will you stop and realize,
The worth and value of your life?
As you suffocate yourself within this mindless,
9-5 wake up! there′s more!
And your life is nobody′s but yours
And now its said and done and done and said,
And now what′s another day?

I can feel these changes right before my eyes
I see a dying fire inside your eyes

You′re running circles around my slow pace
You’ve reached the finish line only to realize there was no race
I′m sick of being stepped on for the things I choose
I give and take and now I′ve taken all I could

And now I′ve taken all I could
And now I′ve taken all I could
And now I′ve taken all I could (now I′ve taken, now I′ve taken)
And now I′ve taken all I could (now I′ve taken, now I′ve taken)
And now I′ve taken all I could

Текст песни:

(are you ready to rock?)

Now′s the time
To rearrange your life
Live for something
Outside of your own mind
We all dream
The same dream every night
To burn the world that you call civilized

Alive and well
I live to be alive
And I live to always strive
For something more
Alive and well
I’ll never understand
The who, what, why or when
Of you tonight...

We face the stares of judgement
And almost everyday
The shaking heads
Of disapproval say,
"Pray for you to give me something
Then find out that there was nothing else."

Alive and well
I live to be alive
And I live to always strive
For something more
Alive and well
I’ll never understand
The who, what, why or when
Of you tonight...

Recite the words inside
Realize that this is nothing
Without your voice
I′m not giving up
Not giving up
Not giving up
And I’ll blame the worst on you
I know what′s wrong

Alive and well
I live to be alive
And i live to always strive
For something more
′Cause I’m alive and well
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
And i don′t need to explain
Myself to you
Myself to you

Текст песни:

Information kept to myself and everybody wants to know,
I trust the words of no one else cause I′ve been there before,
Your voice is wasted ′cause I′m not listening

These callused fingers are wrapped around a black ball-point pen,
These eyes don′t wander as far as they at one time did,
I′ve seen the future, it′s fading faster

No place that I′d rather be than right here, right now
No time that I′d rather be than right here, right now

I′m on the other end begging you, pick up the phone,
A shaking whisper is answering, don′t call anymore
Your voice is wasted ′cause I′m not listening

Freeze me in this moment,
Thaw me in ten years, (thaw me in ten years)
When the fire′s burned out and the smoke (clears)

No place that I′d rather be than right here, right now
No time that I′d rather be than right here, right now

Let′s just pretend
Let′s just pretend
Let′s just pretend, let′s just pretend,
Tonight will never end
Let′s just pretend, let′s just pretend,
Tonight will never end

No place that I′d rather be than right here, right now
No time that I′d rather be than right here, right now

Текст песни:

We′ve been alright up until now,
But the air that we breathe is about to run out.
We′ve rehearsed our lines clear and loud,
But the cue never came and the lights,
They never went down.
So we′re passing the time,
While time passes us.
The fast lanes a term never applied to us.
Without a dime to my name,
Or a prayer in the world.
I walk out the door.

Destination anywhere but here.
Away from you.

Now I′m on my way to the other side,
(On my way)
I′ll forget everything I left behind.
(On my way)
These empty rooms,
(On my way)
Are still filled with you.
(On my way)

So I dropped out of my own race,
A race with no finish line,
No first or last place.
These faces all rush right past me.
I turn and walk away,
Cause we finally know now what our
Time here′s about, we were not meant to be
Another face in the crowd.
We′re a forest of lives,
But we grow tall and wide.
We′ll never be cut down.

Destination anywhere but here.
Away from you.

Now I′m on my way to the other side,
(On my way)
I′ll forget everything I left behind.
(On my way)
These empty rooms,
(On my way)
Are still filled with you.
(On my way)

I′m so tired and turned around and scared.
I′m lying in empty beds again.
I′ll wait for you to come
To your senses, barbed-wire fences
Won’t keep me from breaking through.
I swear I will to you.

Now I′m on my way to the other side,
(On my way)
I′ll forget everything I left behind.
(On my way)
These empty rooms,
(On my way)
Are still filled with you.
(On my way)

I′m so tired and turned around and scared.
I′m lying in empty beds again.
Away from you.

Текст песни:

I can still remember
The words and what they meant
As we etched them with our fingers
In years of wet cement
The days blurred into each other
Though everything seemed clear
We cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears

We ran like vampires from a thousand burning sons
But even then we should have stayed
But we ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we′ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?

Identities assume us
As nine and five add up
Synchronizing watches
To the seconds that we lost
I looked up and saw you
I know that you saw me
We froze but for a moment
In empathy

I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
You gave my emptiness a name
But you ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we′ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?

We′re all ok, until the day we′re not
The surface shines, while the inside rots
We raced the sunset and we almost won
We slammed the brakes, but the wheels went on

We ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we′ve outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?

@ Rise Against

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:

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

@ 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)
