RISE AGAINST - Elective Amnesia lyrics

rate me

We don't sleep very much<br />

These triggers ache for the touch<br />

Where's the strength we relied on?<br />

Fear alone, like a crutch<br />

Maybe that's what keeps us up<br />

All night with the light on<br />

<br />

All these screams simulate<br />

Lives that no longer take place<br />

Can this be what we've become?<br />

Paper-thin, overweight<br />

Pills to arouse or sedate<br />

Still we don't know what we want<br />

<br />

We can't let go<br />

Can't you see?<br />

To lose control<br />

Is to be<br />

Falling free <br />

<br />

First a spark<br />

Then a flame<br />

Now a fire<br />

We explode<br />

Into the darkest of nights<br />

<br />

Disconnect<br />

Cut the cord<br />

Lines are dead<br />

Now they'll know<br />

With everything comes a price <br />

<br />

And each day we are torn<br />

Between the right and the wrong<br />

Between life and convenience<br />

While you sleep, why complain?<br />

There's always channels to change<br />

It's like elective amnesia<br />

<br />

As we grow older<br />

In this place<br />

Let's just start over<br />

Let's erase what they made<br />

<br />

First a spark<br />

Then a flame<br />

Now a fire<br />

We explode<br />

Into the darkest of nights<br />

<br />

Disconnect<br />

Cut the cord<br />

Lines are dead<br />

Now they'll know<br />

With everything comes a price<br />

<br />

It could be minutes away<br />

It could be hours or days<br />

Before the bottom falls out<br />

Before the ground gives way<br />

Into this debt we are born<br />

A debt we try to repay<br />

And yet we blacken the sky<br />

Smoke rising out of the flames<br />

<br />

Now they'll know<br />

<br />

First a spark<br />

Then a flame <br />

Now a fire<br />

We explode <br />

Into the darkest of nights<br />

<br />

Disconnect<br />

Cut the cord <br />

Lines are dead <br />

Now they'll know<br />

With everything comes a price<br />

<br />

We explode<br />

We explode <br />

<br />

With everything comes a price<br />

<br />

We explode<br />

We explode
