Rise Against - Drones lyrics

Deep inside these burning buildings
Voices die to be heard
Years we spent teaching a lesson
We ourselves had never learned
And if strength is born from heartbreak
Then mountains I could move
And if walls could speak I'd pray
That they would tell me what to do

If you see me, please, just walk on by
Walk on by
Forget my name and I'll forget it too
Failed attempts at living simple lives
Simple lives
Are what keep me coming back to you

No signs of life here, save the embers
The occasional flame
We'd know the way but can't remember
Conception to the grave
Shout confessions from the greatest heights


Where no one can hear all my fears
My insecurities are falling like tears

If you see me, please, just walk on by
Walk on by
Forget my name and I'll forget it too
Failed attempts at living simple lives
Simple lives
Are what keep me coming back to you

The drones all slave away
They're working overtime
They serve a faceless queen
They never question why disciples of a god
That neither lives nor breathes
(I won't come back)
But we have bills to pay
Yeah we have mouths to feed!
(I won't come back) i won't come back!

And if you see me, please, just walk on by
Walk on by
Forget my name and I'll forget it too
Failed attempts at living simple lives
Simple lives
Are what keep me coming back to you

I'm coming back to you
