Rise Against - Tip The Scales Lyrics
Tip The Scalesare we so alone, so distant, so forgottenas we think ourselves to be?these are our lives, but did they ever even matter?are we worth remembering?as these machines fuel on the tearsof broken lives and dying dreamsthrowing 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 voicescu our despair knows many nameswe make mistakesbut we apologize with rosesthat we never stopped to smell on the wayas these machines feed on the tearsof broken lives and dying dreamsthrowing wrenches in the gearsour lives will not be lived in vainwe fell from the sky todaywe melt into balls of claywe sell ourselves everydaydon'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 cant make me drinkas these machines fuel on the tearsof broken lives and dying dreamsthrowing wrenches in the gearsour lives will not be lived in vain
