Rise Against - Reception Fades lyrics

It is, in the end
Whatever the hell I want it to be
And when I'm through with it
It's gonna blow a hole this wide
Straight through the world's own
Idea of it'self
They're throwing bottles at your house
Come on, lets go break their arms

You talk about the way things were
But, I can't hear what you're saying
A time when life was not this hard
Blessed by the innocence

Is the best yet to come?
Or did it pass by long ago?
Are we holding on to a thread
Of something already dead?

I'm not your reason to stand up straight
Shoulders back, chest out, and eyes raised
Stepping back, I hesitate
I can't let myself be taken

Is the best yet to come?
Or did it pass by long ago?
Are we holding on to a thread
Of something already dead?

You can't change your mind, expect me to care
You can't just snap your fingers and
Expect me to be there
You can't change your mind, expect me to care
You can't just snap your fingers and
Expect me to be there
Can't just change your mind

The reception fades, the signals breaking up
And am I moving on or am I giving up?
If you walk away from this with anything
Live your life today
