The Answer Songtext
von Rise Against

Let the fire burn a hole through everything
Leave only unidentifiable remains
Let the water breach the levee
Let every well run dry
While the cupboards all were emptied
We were told to wait outside

And we closed our eyes
And ran these red lights
Out of ideas, out of options, out of answers, out of road
And out of time

Is there nothing that can save us now?
Is there nothing that can save us now?

We all run
We all hide
But this is not the answer
Our mouths shut
Our hands tied
But this is not the answer now


And I can′t tell you that it's gonna be okay
And anybody else that does is lying to your face (tell me)
Do your bones ache like mine? (Tell me, tell me, tell me)
Did we lock ourselves outside?

But these roads can still be built
And these wrongs can be undone
We no longer can sit still
While there′s a war outside that's waiting to be won

Is there nothing that can save us now?
Is there nothing that can save us now?

We all run
We all hide
But this is not the answer
Our mouths shut
Our hands tied
But this is not the answer


It's only getting darker
So dark that we can′t even see
The tourniquet is tied off
But we′ve only begun to bleed
And everybody's tired
Of fighting for a space to sleep
The tide is getting higher
But we′ve only begun to bleed

Is there nothing that can save us now?
Is there nothing that can save us now? (Our mouths shut, our hands tied)
Is there nothing that can save us now? (Our mouths shut, our hands tied)
Is there nothing that can save
Is there nothing that can save us now?
