di Rise Against

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, 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 engrained in your head
that this world is something that you must impress,
because 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 engrained in your head
that this world is something that you must impress,
because 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

I have an Amerikan 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 engrained in your head
that this world is something that you must impress,
because I couldn't care less
Il tuo voto:
"Is this the point where we give up?
Is this the point where we give in?
Is this the point where we turn ourselves in?

Is this the time to ask questions?
Is this the time to seek answers?
Is this the time to throw it all in?

When enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there
When enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there
You're halfway there
That's when you know that you're halfway there

This is the point where we stand up
This is the point where we take back
The things that are keeping us from being free

When enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there
When enough is enough that's when you know that you're halfway there
That's when you know that you're halfway there

Your voice the airwaves sent you prayed my life would end,
The wasted time I spent ashamed I called you friend,
Give me one reason, I need a reason, one reason"
Il tuo voto:
They turn the lights down low,
In shadows hiding from the world,
Only coming out when it gets cold

The seas part when they hit the floor,
The voices carry on and out the door,
Everything you touch turns into gold

Like the angel you are,
You laugh creating,
A lightness in my chest,
Your eyes they penetrate me,
(Your answers always 'maybe')
That’s when I got up and left

A beating heart and a microphone,
A ticking clock in an empty home,
Still tells of these times so long ago,
And even though I’ve come so far,
I know I’ve got so far to go
And any day now ill explode

Like the angel you are,
You laugh creating,
A Lightness in my chest,
Your eyes they penetrate me,
(Your answers always 'maybe')
That’s when I got up and left

And each and every day will lead in to tomorrow,
Tomorrow brings one less day without you,
But don’t wait up just leave the light on,
Cause all the roads that I might take will all one day lead back to you

And Like the angel you are,
You laugh creating,
A lightness in my chest,
Your eyes they penetrate me,
(Never cease to amaze me)
That’s when I got up and left
Il tuo voto:
late nights and bloodshot eyes, clock ticking half past five,
we're barely breathing but we're still alive. GO!

our plans are all laid out, take all these unmarked roads,
we blaze the trails to places no one goes, yeah!

one last chance to go, if I don't leave tonight I never will
one last chance to go, let's take it now in for the kill

if in time we find ourselves, back where we started from,
too weak to fight and much too tired to run

before you swallow me into your perfect life,
i'm not going out without a fight, yeah!

one last chance to go, if I don't leave tonight I never will
one last chance to go, let's take it now in for the kill

but this blueprints faded grey
and here it seems like just yesterday
when we mapped out the details of our great escape,
but still these roads all beckon me to uncover their mystery
but I fall like dead autumn leaves and let the jet stream carry me

one last chance to go,
if I don't leave tonight I never will
one last chance to go
Il tuo voto:
if i could paint how i feel,
i'd draw a 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 wont 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.
Il tuo voto:
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 I'm still waiting

(Chorus)
if my hand could block the sun
would we ever wake up?
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
I'm still waiting
yeah I'm still waiting

(Chorus)

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

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 I'm still waiting

(Chorus)
Would We Ever Wake Up?
