Rise Against

We don't sleep very much
These triggers ache for the touch
Where's the strength we relied on?
Fear alone, like a crutch,
maybe that's what keeps us up
all night with the light on
All these screams emulate
Lives that no longer take place
Can this be what we've become?
Paper thin, overweight,
pills to arouse or sedate
Still we don't know what we want
We can't let go
Can't you see?
To lose control
is to be...
Finally free!
First a spark
Then a flame
Now a fire
We explode
into the darkest of nights
disconnect
cut the cord
lines are dead
Now they'll know
with everything comes a price
And each day we are torn
between the right and the wrong
between life and convenience
Why do we sleep? Why complain?
There's always channels to change
It's like elective amnesia
As we grow older in this place
Let's just start over
Let's erase
What they've made!
First a spark
