Rise Against - Tip The Scale Lyrics
Are we so alone,So distant,So forgotten,As we think ourselves to be?These are our livesBut did they ever even matter?Are we worth remembering?These machines feed on the tears of broken lives and dying dreamsWeт€™re throwing wrenches in the gearsOur lives will not be lived in vainWhen this is all said and doneWe spent this life on the runJudged by the company we keepOur language, buried insideThese lungs that keep us aliveWe breathe so selfishlyPromises we plan to breakAre made in whispered voicesCause our despair knows many namesWe make mistakesBut we apologize with roses we never stop to smell along the wayThese machines feed on the tears of broken lives and dying dreamsWeт€™re throwing wrenches in the gearsOur lives will not be lived in vainWe fell from the sky todayWe melt into balls of clayWe sell ourselves everydayDonт€™t tell me how to live this wayPushed so far to the edgeWe teeter just on the brinkYou can lead me to the bloodbathBut you canт€™t make me drinkAs these machines feed on the tears of broken lives and dying dreamsWeт€™re throwing wrenches in the gearsOur lives will not be lived in vainOur lives will not be lived in vain
