Sudden Life by Rise Against Lyrics
[Intro]
I'm floating in the clouds
I'm giving up the fight
A voice is calling out
I'm walking into the light
[Verse 1]
We used to race a thousand miles a day so fast
Feet, they barely even touched the ground
We used to fly to places out beyond our own little world
The fury and the sunlight
[Verse 2]
I saw it flicker like a television set
Bright flashes of a warning sign
Flipping channels in a world gone static
Eroding away line by the fading line
[Pre-Chorus]
Under water for years we found
So much harder to swim than drown
The current takes us
Now we're walking into the light
[Chorus]
Are you dying all your life? (Walking into the light, walking into the light)
Broken, beat, and tired out (Walking into the light)
You want to live, but don't know how (Walking into the light)
Diagnosis: sudden life (Walking into the light, walking into the light)
Can no one revive me now?
Feels like I'm walking into the light
[Verse 3]
Woke up floating on a wave of golden sound
Tunnel vision and a great beyond
Heart beating like a rhythm
Slowing down 'til it's gone
An echo of a song
[Pre-Chorus]
Flat line and a closing bell
Whisper a warm farewell
The flames are beckoning
As we're walking into the light
[Chorus]
Are you dying all your life? (Walking into the light, walking into the light)
Broken, beat, and tired out (Walking into the light)
You want to live, but don't know how (Walking into the light)
Diagnosis: sudden life (Walking into the light, walking into the light)
Can no one revive me now?
Feels like I'm walking into the light
[Bridge]
Don't suppose that you know the way?
Don't suppose that you care?
I see lights up ahead and hear cries of angels ring in my ears
[Pre-Chorus]
But you know that had you a choice
You would go back and do it again
We all have unfinished business to tend
[Chorus]
So no, I won't go gentle into the good night
You can keep your candle
I'm walking away from the light
Yeah, I'm walking away from the light
I'm walking away from the light
I'm walking away from the light
I'm walking away from the light
Diagnosis: sudden life (Walking into the light, walking into the light)
I woke up my heart racing (Walking into the light)
I'm at a loss explaining why
Are you dying all your life? (Walking into the light)
Then put your darkest days behind
Let the life flash right before your eyes (Walking into the light)
And for very the first time
It feels like I'm walking away from the light
I'm floating in the clouds
I'm giving up the fight
A voice is calling out
I'm walking into the light
[Verse 1]
We used to race a thousand miles a day so fast
Feet, they barely even touched the ground
We used to fly to places out beyond our own little world
The fury and the sunlight
[Verse 2]
I saw it flicker like a television set
Bright flashes of a warning sign
Flipping channels in a world gone static
Eroding away line by the fading line
[Pre-Chorus]
Under water for years we found
So much harder to swim than drown
The current takes us
Now we're walking into the light
[Chorus]
Are you dying all your life? (Walking into the light, walking into the light)
Broken, beat, and tired out (Walking into the light)
You want to live, but don't know how (Walking into the light)
Diagnosis: sudden life (Walking into the light, walking into the light)
Can no one revive me now?
Feels like I'm walking into the light
[Verse 3]
Woke up floating on a wave of golden sound
Tunnel vision and a great beyond
Heart beating like a rhythm
Slowing down 'til it's gone
An echo of a song
[Pre-Chorus]

As we're walking into the light
[Chorus]
Are you dying all your life? (Walking into the light, walking into the light)

You want to live, but don't know how (Walking into the light)
Diagnosis: sudden life (Walking into the light, walking into the light)
Can no one revive me now?
Feels like I'm walking into the light

I'm walking away from the light
I'm walking away from the light
I'm walking away from the light
