Letra de 'Elective Amnesia' de Rise Against

We don't sleep very much
These triggers ache for the touch
Where's the strength we relied on?
Fear alone like a crutch
Maybe that's what keeps us up
All night with the light on

All these screams, simulate, eyes that no longer take place
Can this be what we've become?
Paper thin, overweight, pills that arouse or sedate
Still we don't know what we want

We can't let go
Can't you see?
To lose control
Is to be
Finally free!

First a spark, then a flame
Now a fire, we explode
Into the darkest of nights
Disconnect, cut the cord
Lines are dead, now they'll know
With everything comes a price

And each day we are torn
Between the right and the wrong
Between life and convenience
Why to sleep? Why complain?
There's always channels to change
It's like elective amnesia

As we grow older, in this place
Let's just start over
Let's erase
What they meant

First a spark, then a flame
Now a fire, we explode
Into the darkest of nights
Disconnect, cut the cord
Lights are dead, no they'll know
With everything comes a price

It could be minutes away
It could be hours or days
Before the bottom falls out
Before the ground gives way
Into this debt we are born
A debt we try to repay
And now we blacken the sky
Smoke rising out of our flames
Now they'll know

First a spark, then a flame
Now a fire, we explode
Into the darkest of nights
Disconnect, cut the cord
Lights are dead, no they'll know
With everything comes a price

(First a spark, then a flame, now a fire)
We explode, we explode
With everything comes a price
(Disconnect)
(Cut the cord)
(Lines are dead)
We explode, we explode
