Endgame |
|
Rise Against |
|
and on that day they'll tell you |
|
that life hung on with no clue |
|
the warning signs were all just missed or shattered down |
|
so it goes |
|
the kings all failed to tell us |
|
the madmen failed to sell us |
|
of what would then befall the only life we know |
|
when they're burning signal fires |
|
to guide us to the fields |
|
we're building funeral pyres |
|
they all commit a final appeal |
|
the city lines are down |
|
the kerosene's run out |
|
the fact surreal |
|
we relied upon |
|
i shed the sun clean skin |
|
and start to feel again |
|
cuz all the shoulders i wish to cry on gone |
|
the paranoia gripped us |
|
berate and then consume us |
|
the panic set in like a cancer to our hearts |
|
spreading through |
|
we've been on fire like genius |
|
i pray for god to save us |
|
there was no answer, though |
|
disease tore us apart |
|
we left bodies in the fields |
|
so numb that we forgot how to feel |
|
the city lines are down |
|
the kerosene's run out |
|
the fact surreal |
|
we relied upon |
|
i shed the sun clean skin |
|
and start to feel again |
|
cuz all the shoulders i wish to cry on gone |
|
he looked at the fields, and then his hands |
|
all i need is what i have |
|
then fell a tear of happiness |
|
oh... |
|
she watched it all crumble away |
|
is this the end of yesterday? |
|
"lord, i hope so" is all he said |
|
all i've got are the organs |
|
all i've got are the (?) |
|
and as we go forth |
|
i pray we'll remember this day |
|
oh, we relied on now |
|
the city lines are down |
|
the kerosene's run out |
|
the fact surreal |
|
we relied upon |
|
i shed the sun clean skin |
|
and start to feel again |
|
with no more shoulders, shoulders to cry on now |
|
no more, no more |
|
no more, no more |
|
no more, no more |
|
the weight that we once felt is gone |
