Rise Against - Elective Amnesia Lyrics
We don't sleep very muchThese triggers ache for the touchWhere's the strength we relied on?Fear alone, like a crutchMaybe that's what keeps us upAll night with the light onAll these screams simulateLives that no longer take placeCan this be what we've become?Paper-thin, overweightPills to arouse or sedateStill we don't know what we wantWe can't let goCan't you see?To lose controlIs to beFalling freeFirst a sparkThen a flameNow a fireWe explodeInto the darkest of nightsDisconnectCut the cordLines are deadNow they'll knowWith everything comes a priceAnd each day we are tornBetween the right and the wrongBetween life and convenienceWhile you sleep, why complain?There's always channels to changeIt's like elective amnesiaAs we grow olderIn this placeLet's just start overLet's erase what they madeFirst a sparkThen a flameNow a fireWe explodeInto the darkest of nightsDisconnectCut the cordLines are deadNow they'll knowWith everything comes a priceIt could be minutes awayIt could be hours or daysBefore the bottom falls outBefore the ground gives wayInto this debt we are bornA debt we try to repayAnd yet we blacken the skySmoke rising out of the flamesNow they'll knowFirst a sparkThen a flameNow a fireWe explodeInto the darkest of nightsDisconnectCut the cordLines are deadNow they'll knowWith everything comes a priceWe explodeWe explodeWith everything comes a priceWe explodeWe explode
