Rise Against - Sounds Like Lyrics

If everything that we love

Will burn down

Then should we love no one and nothing?

If all that we build

Falls down

Then I will dig the deepest hole

Dig down, down



All the things we don't say might mean something

Somewhere to someone

Because nothing here is ever good enough



So we close our eyes and wait for something better

Not knowing what we're even waiting for

With our hands cupped to the sky

We wait forever

Sacrificing light we're given

Never knowing what

We're living for



Can I have your attention, please

I've played the game, you see, to make all these ends meet

But it's not enough

The fabric we all share

All starts to rip and tear

We're sending thoughts and prayers

But they're not enough



Words without action equal nothing

They'll say when we're gone

We've heard your excuses all before

And this is what they sound like



So we close our eyes and wait for something better

Not knowing what we're even waiting for

With out hands cupped to the sky

We wait forever

Sacrificing light we're given

Never knowing what

We're living for

We're living for

We're living for



And this is what it sounds like

(And this is what it sounds like)



So don't close your eyes, don't wait for something better

Know exactly what it is you're waiting for

Put your empty hands away, don't wait forever

Don't sacrifice the light you're given

Know exactly what you're living for
