state of emergency

Rise Against

I need a sound that s too loud to ignore
I wanna dance in the path of the storm
When they came, I didn t say a thing
So I was sleeping when they came for me
Oh, oh, whoa, oh
Oh, oh, whoa, oh

I woke up to a world hypnotized
To its power, I shielded my eyes
So slow, nobody s noticing
Tide rising right around our feet
Oh, oh, whoa, oh
Oh, oh, whoa, oh

I chased the sound, cause the sound
well, it s never failed me
I feel the clouds hover over me

And now I m trying, but I can t see
All the good right in front of me
Why does it feel like we re constantly
Oh, in a state of emergency?

Though we all understand what the story s about
Till we all shake our heads, stamp our feet
scream and shout, hey
I saw it coming from across the sea
So I was ready when it came for me
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh

It s breaking down, all around, while we sit here waiting
We re burning light impatiently

And now I m trying, but I can t see
All the good right in front of me
Sometimes, it feels like we re constantly
Oh, in a state of emergen?, a state of emergency

I m digging for sunlight, I m crawling for rain
I m begging for something to lessen the pain
I m buried alive, but I still hear my name
Oh, my name, oh, whoa

Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh

I m trying, but I can t see
All the good right in front of me
Why does it feel like we re constantly
In a state of emergency?

A state of emergency
A state of emergency
A state of emergen?, a state of emergency
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
