Rise Against Rumors of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

So please don't ask me how I ended up at my wits end and breaking down
Pages torn from books we never read because 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 build 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

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 build these dreams on sand how they all slip 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 closet 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 build these dreams on sand how they all slip 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
