Rise Against - The Answer lyrics
[Rise Against - The Answer lyrics]
Let the fire burn a hole through everything
Leave only unidentifiable remains
Let the water breach the levee
Let every well run dry
While the cupboards all were emptied
We were told to wait outside
We closed our eyes
And ran these red lights
Out of ideas, out of options
Out of answers, out of road and out of time
Is there nothing that can save us now?
Is there nothing that can save us now?
We all run, we all hide
But this is the not the answer
Our mouths shut, our hands tied
But this is not the answer now
And I can't tell you that's
It's gonna be okay
And anybody else that does is
Lying to your face
(Tell Me)
Do your bones ache like mine?
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)
Did we lock ourselves outside?
But these roads can still be built
And these wrongs can be undone
We no longer can sit still
While there's a war outside that's
Waiting to be won
Is there nothing that can save us now?
Is there nothing that can save us now?
We all run, we all hide
But this is the not the answer
Our mouths shut, our hands tied
But this is not the answer now
It's only getting darker
So dark that we can't even see
The tourniquet is tied off
But we've only begun to bleed
And everybody's tired
Of fighting for a space to sleep
The tide is getting higher
But we've only begun to bleed
(Oh) Is there nothing that can save us now?
(Oh) Is there nothing that can save us now?
(Our mouths shut, our hands tied)
Is there nothing that can save us now?
(Our mouths shut, our hands tied)
Is there nothing that can save
Is there nothing that can save us now?
Leave only unidentifiable remains
Let the water breach the levee
Let every well run dry
While the cupboards all were emptied
We were told to wait outside
We closed our eyes
And ran these red lights
Out of ideas, out of options
Out of answers, out of road and out of time
Is there nothing that can save us now?
Is there nothing that can save us now?
We all run, we all hide
But this is the not the answer
Our mouths shut, our hands tied
But this is not the answer now
And I can't tell you that's
It's gonna be okay
And anybody else that does is
Lying to your face
(Tell Me)
Do your bones ache like mine?
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)
Did we lock ourselves outside?
But these roads can still be built
And these wrongs can be undone
We no longer can sit still
While there's a war outside that's
Waiting to be won
Is there nothing that can save us now?
Is there nothing that can save us now?
We all run, we all hide
But this is the not the answer
Our mouths shut, our hands tied
But this is not the answer now
It's only getting darker
So dark that we can't even see
The tourniquet is tied off
But we've only begun to bleed
And everybody's tired
Of fighting for a space to sleep
The tide is getting higher
But we've only begun to bleed
(Oh) Is there nothing that can save us now?
(Oh) Is there nothing that can save us now?
(Our mouths shut, our hands tied)
Is there nothing that can save us now?
(Our mouths shut, our hands tied)
Is there nothing that can save
Is there nothing that can save us now?
