Answer 1

Elective Amnesia

by:

Rise Against

We don't sleep very much

These triggers ache for the touch

Where's the strength we relied on?

Here alone, like a crutch

Maybe that's what keeps us up

All night with the light on...

Howling screams simulate

Things that no longer take place

Can this be what we've become?

Paper thin, overweight,

Pills to arouse us in tape

Still we don't know what we want

We can let go

Can't you see?

To lose control

Is to be

Falling free

[Chorus]

Once a spark

Then a flame

Now a fire

We explode!

Into the darkest of nights

Disconnect

Cut the chord

Lights are dead

Now they'll know

Everything comes with a price

And each day we are torn

Between the right and the wrong

Between life and convienience

While you sleep

I'll complain

It's always channels and chains

It's like Elective Amnesia

As we grow older

In this place

It's just all over

Life's a race

[Chorus repeat]

It could be minutes away,

It could be hours a day

Before the bottom falls out

Before the ground gives way

Into this debt we are born

A debt we try to repay

And yet we blacken the sky

Smoke rising out of the flames

Now they'll know...

[Chorus repeat]
