Elective Amnesia Lyrics - Long Forgotten Songs: B-sides & Covers 2000-2013 - 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 the night with a light on 

Howling screams simulate 

Lives that no longer take place 

Can this be what we've become? 

Paper-thin, overweight 

Pills to arouse or sedate 

Still we don't know what we want 

We can let go 

Can't you see? 

To lose control 

Is to be 

Finally free

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

First a spark 

Then a flame 

Now a fire 

We explode 

Into the darkest of nights 

Disconnect 

Cut the cord 

Lights are dead 

Now they'll know 

With everything comes a price 

And each day we are torn 

Between the right and the wrong 

Between life and convenience 

While you sleep, why complain 

There's always channels to change 

It's like elective amnesia 

As we grow older 

In this place 

Let's just start over 

Let's erase 

What they've made 

First a spark 

Then a flame 

Now a fire 

We explode 

Into the darkest of nights 

Disconnect 

Cut the cord 

Lights are dead 

Now they'll know 

With everything comes a price! 

It could be minutes away 

It could be hours or days 

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... 

(First a spark) 

(Then a flame) 

(Now a fire) 

We explode 

Into the darkest of nights 

(Disconnect) 

(Cut the cord) 

(Lights are dead) 

Now they'll know 

With everything comes a price 

(First a spark) 

(Then a flame) 

(Now a fire) 

We explode... 

We explode... 

With everything comes a price... 

(First a spark) 

(Then a flame) 

(Now a fire) 

We explode 

We explode...
