You've got a lot of nerve and I've got a lot of fingers to point |
|
While you were busy building knowledge I was already right |
|
I know a voice like yours is not a weapon at all |
|
And even mine is not a chisel for a thickened skull |
|
So you can chant your anthems to the deaf |
|
And we can sit here and cry until there's nothing left |
|
Or we can take our voices with our hands |
|
Make like knives and make demands |
|
We'll take our voices - with our hands |
|
Make like knives - we'll make demands |
|
I'm burning bridges for the last time |
|
I'm breaking habits for the first time |
|
I saw my future today, it said I'm going away |
|
But I still haven't sung the last line |
|
On my way down.. |
|
I'm not ready to lay, not ready to fade |
|
I'm not ready to die |
|
And everyday of my life I can feel it getting harder to breathe |
|
With every minute ticking by I'm getting ready to leave |
|
I know a life like mine is not a reason to fret |
|
But I've been busy making scars that you will never forget |
|
If only thirty three years can save my life |
|
I've had twenty three more to make things right |
|
So when I'm taken to the sky and you're still here |
|
You can clear your mind and dry your tears |
|
When I'm taken home - and you're still here |
|
Just clear your mind - dry your tears |
|
I'm burning bridges for the last time |
|
I'm breaking habits for the first time |
|
I saw my future today, it said I'm going away |
|
But I still haven't sung the last line. |
|
On my way down.. |
|
I'm not ready to lay, not ready to fade |
|
I'm not ready to die |
|
When I'm taken home - and you're still here |
|
Just clear your mind - dry your tears |
|
We'll take our voices - with our hands |
|
Make like knives - we'll make demands |
|
I'm not ready to lay, not ready to fade |
|
I'm not ready to die |
