Papa Roach - State of Emergency lyrics

[Papa Roach - State of Emergency lyrics]

There's a movie playin' in my head
Bombs falling and children crying
The sun rise and the sky turns red
Load your guns tonight
There's a song playin' down the hall
All alone, there's an old man dying
I can't feel anything at all
Something isn't right!

This is a state of emergency
I've been runnin' from a tragedy
There's a battle ragin' in my head
And I don't wanna be left for dead
This is a state of emergency
Don't wanna be another casualty
There's a cemetery in my head
And I don't wanna be left for dead
Left for dead

There's a world standin' in my way
Father said that I best stop tryin'
Stand down it'll be okay
You don’t have to fight
There's a picture hangin' on the wall
Of a memory that I'm denying
The sun sets and the angels fall
Something isn't right!

This is a state of emergency
I've been runnin' from a tragedy
There's a battle ragin' in my head
And I don't wanna be left for dead
This is a state of emergency
Don't wanna be another casualty
There's a cemetery in my head
And I don't wanna be left for dead

No, don't leave me here alone
I don't wanna make this hell my home
I would rather die than sell my soul
I would rather lie than let you go
There's a voice screamin' in my head
Tellin' me that I best stop cryin'
Stand up it'll be okay
Load your guns tonight

This is a state of emergency
I've been runnin' from a tragedy
There's a battle ragin' in my head
And I don't wanna be left for dead
This is a state of emergency
Don't wanna be another casualty
There's a cemetery in my head
And I don't wanna be left for dead

State of emergency! State of emergency!
State of emergency!
I don't wanna be left for dead left for dead
Left for dead
