Rumors Of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
Rise Against
Intro: So please don’t ask me how I ended up at my wits end And breaking down Pages torn from books we never read Cause we’re plugged into this grid Don’t pull this plug right now Or then we’d really have to live When I die will they remember not What I did but what I haven’t done? It’s not the end that I fear with each breath It’s life that scares me to death When we built these dreams on sand How they all slipped through our hands This might be our only chance Let’s take this one day at a time I’ll hold your hand if you hold mine The time that we kill keeps us alive ( ) (4x) Your words won’t save me now I’m at the edge feeling the sweat drip from my brow "Get a grip on yourself" is what they say Every hour every day Hands over my ears I’ve been screaming all these years! When I die will they remember not What I did but what I haven’t done? It’s not the end that I fear with each breath It’s life that scares me to death When we built these dreams on sand How they all slipped through our hands This might be our only chance Let’s take this one day at a time I’ll hold your hand if you hold mine The time that we kill keeps us alive () We came in search of answers! We left empty handed again! Shots fired into the sky Are now returning! Where the fuck will you hide? Hiding from the laughter in the closets of our lives But the door hinges are squeaking letting in thin shards of light And now a hand’s extending outward Quiet comfort they invite Do we dare take what they offer? Do we step into the light? When I die will they remember not What I did but what I haven’t done? It’s not the end that I fear with each breath It’s life that scares me to death When we built these dreams on sand How they all slipped through our hands This might be our only chance Let’s take this one day at a time I’ll hold your hand if you hold mine The time that we kill keeps us alive When we built these dreams on sand How they all slipped through our hands This might be our only chance Let’s take this one day at a time I’ll hold your hand if you hold mine The time that we kill keeps us alive
