Restless World by Rise Against Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I fell for the bait, again
A fork in the road and one that never ends
And upon those stones, I lived alone to find you
And whisper, like leaves in the wind
An air so pure it could wash away sin
A message like a stranger we take kind to
[Pre-Chorus]
And the night it sings to me
As I fall in love asleep
Each breath slower than the last
A sweet, low tide recedes
[Chorus]
We can almost hear the choir
Echoing down streets on fire
Singing "Keep calm restless world, this too shall pass"
Are we all failures in disguise?
For the dream we brought alive
From behind the name in lights
Our shadows cast...
But will they last?
[Verse 2]
It's not that I don't believe
It's just that I'm so afraid to bleed
If we could just stay on the mountain path, over debris
So I can breathe again
So we could live like we lived back then
When these lakes were only puddles
And these monsters were still men
'Cause we're all but saddled horses
As they bet on every race
But there's contempt bred in the stallion
For the man that calls his name
[Chorus]
We can almost hear the choir
Echoing down streets on fire
Singing "Keep calm restless world, this too shall pass"
Are we all failures in disguise?
For the dream we brought alive
From behind the name in lights
Our shadows cast
[Bridge]
And feet don't fail me now
There's a broken lonely town
Waiting somewhere down this empty road
And lungs please don't give out
As we whisper and only sometimes shout
Until they hear
I'm never going home...
[Outro]
I fell for the bait, again
I fell for the bait, again
A fork in the road and one that never ends
And upon those stones, I lived alone to find you
And whisper, like leaves in the wind
An air so pure it could wash away sin
A message like a stranger we take kind to
[Pre-Chorus]
And the night it sings to me
As I fall in love asleep
Each breath slower than the last
A sweet, low tide recedes
[Chorus]
We can almost hear the choir
Echoing down streets on fire
Singing "Keep calm restless world, this too shall pass"
Are we all failures in disguise?
For the dream we brought alive
From behind the name in lights
Our shadows cast...
But will they last?
[Verse 2]
It's not that I don't believe
It's just that I'm so afraid to bleed
If we could just stay on the mountain path, over debris
So I can breathe again
So we could live like we lived back then
When these lakes were only puddles
And these monsters were still men
'Cause we're all but saddled horses
As they bet on every race
But there's contempt bred in the stallion
For the man that calls his name
[Chorus]
We can almost hear the choir
Echoing down streets on fire
Singing "Keep calm restless world, this too shall pass"
Are we all failures in disguise?
For the dream we brought alive
From behind the name in lights
Our shadows cast
[Bridge]
And feet don't fail me now
There's a broken lonely town
Waiting somewhere down this empty road
And lungs please don't give out
As we whisper and only sometimes shout
Until they hear
I'm never going home...
[Outro]
I fell for the bait, again
