Rise Against - But Tonight We Dance lyrics

Breathe deep and easy, swallow this pride
Stare at my shaking hands through bone-dry
Blood-shot eyes
Clock strip the hours, I count the miles
Will you be there waiting
Awake until sunrise?

I have traveled in darkness
For what seems like days
I crawled from the sink-holes
Collapsed under this weight
I know not your sorrow, but I know mine
So say you'll stay and dance with me tonight?

In the glow of twilight
Our world is finally calm
I felt it complete me
When the stars give way to dawn
A language universal
But I speak not it's tongue
Is this a night that spans forever


Or a dawn that never comes?

I have traveled in darkness
For what seems like days
I crawled from the sink-holes
Collapsed under this weight
I know not your sorrow, but I know mine
So say you'll stay and dance with me tonight?

Tomorrow we might wake in
Servitude and silence
I will give you everything if
Only you would have me
Tomorrow we will sweat and toil
Our hands will quiver, caked with soil
Tomorrow we'll give it one last chance
But tonight we dance but tonight we dance!

I have traveled in darkness
For what seems like days
I crawled from the sink-holes
Collapsed under this weight
I know not your sorrow, but I know mine
So say you'll stay and dance with me tonight?
