Rumors Of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated Lyrics - 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'd 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 built these dreams on sand 

How they all slipped through our hands 

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

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

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 built these dreams on sand 

How they all slipped through our hands 

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 built these dreams on sand 

How they all slipped through our hands 

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 built these dreams on sand 

How they all slipped through our hands 

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
