RISE AGAINST – WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN

To the ends of this lost world
You have marched and you have sworn
To a tainted crown of thorns

As the hungry sails unfurl
We are thrusted from the shore
And it’s you that we search for

The blackest night
The midnight sun
The covered tracks and days spent on the run
The strangers we’ve become

These whereabouts unknown
Please know you can come home
It’s alright
I long for the moment
Our silence is broken
It’s alright [x3]

Another place, another time
We toed the same side of the line
Yeah we Read more…

RISE AGAINST – AMBER CHANGING

Information kept to myself and everybody wants to know,
I trust the words of no one else cause I’ve been there before,
Your voice is wasted ’cause I’m not listening

These callused fingers are wrapped around a black ball-point pen,
These eyes don’t wander as far as they at one time did,
I’ve seen the future, it’s fading faster

No place that I’d rather be than right here, right now
No time that I’d rather be than right here, right now

I’m on the Read more…

RISE AGAINST – BLACK MASKS AND GASOLINE

Simply because you can breathe,
Doesn’t mean you’re alive,
Or that you really live.
This life has taken it’s toll
And she just doesn’t know,
How much more she can give

But here, at the top of the world, where I raise my hands and I clench my fists,
They stand before me below, demanding the answers with flips of a switch

I don’t understand where you got this idea,
So deeply ingrained in your head
(that this world) is something that you must impress,
Cause I Read more…

RISE AGAINST – WORTH DYING FOR

Set me off like dynamite strapped tight around my waist
We are the ones in competition but claim this ain’t no race

(Let’s go!)

Take a breath and explode like bullets tearing through the wind
Cut me up with a razor blade that tries to separate the skin

Now in the
White flames of burning flags we
found a world worth dying for, yeah
We’ve been battered so hard that we don’t
feel anymore

Take me
From this world
Save me
What if we
All die young?
So take me
From this Read more…

RISE AGAINST – TORCHES

“Torches”

On clearer days I can see the lights from my bedroom door,
On windy nights I can smell the lake as it drifts to me from the shore
The traffic lights silently change a thousand times a day
But I’m still waiting, yeah, and I’m still waiting

And if my hand could block the sun,
Would we ever wake up?
And if I turned back all these clocks,
Would that be time enough?

I can’t remember exactly when this longing began
But I know it Read more…

Rise Against – Audience of One

I can still remember
The words and what they meant
As we etched them with our fingers
In years of wet cement

Days blurred into each other
Though everything seemed clear
We cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears

We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns
But even then we should have stayed

But we ran away
Now all my friends are gone
Maybe we’ve outgrown all the things we once loved

Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in Read more…

RISE AGAINST – LAST CHANCE BLUEPRINT

JANE, HE’S A FREAK!…WELL THAN SO AM I, AND WE’LL ALWAYS BE LIKE FREAK’S WE’LL NEVER BE LIKE OTHER PEOPLE, AND YOU’LL NEVER BE A FREAK CAUSE YOUR JUST TO PERFECT…..)

Late nights and bloodshot eyes, clock ticking half past five,
We’re barely breathing but we’re still alive. (Go!)

Our plans are all laid out, take all these unmarked roads,
We blaze the trails to places no ONE GOES. (Yeah!)

One last chance to go, if I don’t leave tonight I Read more…

Rise Against – Collapse (postamerika)

When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow
And when our summers grow longer and winters won’t snow
From the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills
To the fight in the desert where progress stands still
When we’ve lost our will

That’s how we’ll know
This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
We’re crashing into the Read more…

RISE AGAINST – TO THE CORE

If I could paint how I feel,
I’d draw bullseye on your forehead
my anger is not misdirected unless it somehow misses you

time spent on hate, is time gone to waste,
I watch you point and click your life away

so cast the stones that I’ll gladly catch
and I’ll throw them right f***ing back, I stand behind the things I say,
you type the words you won’t say to my face

time spent on hate, is time gone to waste,
I watch you Read more…
