Rumors Of My Demise Have Been
Rise Against

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 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 build these dreams on sand

How they all slip through our hands

Well 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


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 build these dreams on sand

How they all slip through our hands

Well 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 build these dreams on sand

How they all slip through our hands

And 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 build these dreams on sand

How they all slip through our hands

And 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
