Rise Against The Answer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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 the not the answer
Our mouths shut, our hands tied
But this is not the answer now

[Verse 2]
And I can't tell you that's 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?

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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 the not the answer
Our mouths shut, our hands tied
But this is not the answer now
[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
(Oh) Is there nothing that can save us now?
(Oh) 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?
