Rise Against - Rumors Of My Demise Have Been lyrics
[Rise Against - Rumors Of My Demise Have Been lyrics]
So please, don't ask me how
I ended up at my wit's end and breaking down
Pages torn from books we never read
Cause we're plugged into this grid
Don't pull this plug right now
Or then we'd really have to live
When I die, will they remember not
What I did, but what I haven't done?
It's not the end that I fear with each breath
It's life that scares me to death
When we built these dreams on sand
How they all slipped through our hands
This might be our only chance
Let's take this one day at a time
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine
The time that we kill keeps us alive
Your words won't save me now
I'm at the edge feeling the
Sweat drip from my brow
"Get a grip on yourself" is what they say
Every hour, every day hands over my ears
I've been screaming all these years!
When I die, will they remember not
What I did, but what I haven't done?
It's not the end that I fear with each breath
It's life that scares me to death
When we built these dreams on sand
How they all slipped through our hands
This might be our only chance
Let's take this one day at a time
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine
The time that we kill keeps us alive
We came in search of answers!
We left empty handed again!
Shots fired into the sky are now returning!
Where the fuck will you hide?
Hiding from the laughter in the
Closets of our lives
But the door hinges are squeaking letting
In thin shards of light
And now a hand's extending outward
Quiet comfort they invite
Do we dare take what they offer?
Do we step into the light?
When I die, will they remember not
What I did, but what I haven't done?
It's not the end that I fear with each breath
It's life that scares me to death
When we built these dreams on sand
How they all slipped through our hands
This might be our only chance
Let's take this one day at a time
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine
The time that we kill keeps us alive
I ended up at my wit's end and breaking down
Pages torn from books we never read
Cause we're plugged into this grid
Don't pull this plug right now
Or then we'd really have to live
When I die, will they remember not
What I did, but what I haven't done?
It's not the end that I fear with each breath
It's life that scares me to death
When we built these dreams on sand
How they all slipped through our hands
This might be our only chance
Let's take this one day at a time
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine
The time that we kill keeps us alive
Your words won't save me now
I'm at the edge feeling the
Sweat drip from my brow
"Get a grip on yourself" is what they say
Every hour, every day hands over my ears
I've been screaming all these years!
When I die, will they remember not
What I did, but what I haven't done?
It's not the end that I fear with each breath
It's life that scares me to death
When we built these dreams on sand
How they all slipped through our hands
This might be our only chance
Let's take this one day at a time
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine
The time that we kill keeps us alive
