Rise Against State of Emergency

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
I need a sound that’s too loud to ignore
I wanna dance in the path of the storm
Oh, when they came, I didn’t say a thing
So I was sleeping when they came for me
Oh, oh, whoa, oh
Oh, oh, whoa, oh
I woke up to a world hypnotized
To its power, I shielded my eyes
So slow, nobody’s noticing
Tide rising right around our feet
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I chased the sound, ’cause the sound, well, it’s never failed me
I feel the clouds hover over me

[Chorus]
And now I’m trying, but I can’t see (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa)
All the good right in front of me (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa)
Why does it feel like we’re constantly (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa)
Oh, in a state of emergency?
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa

[Verse 2]
Oh wе all understand what the story’s about
Till we all shakе our heads, stamp our feet, scream and shout, hey
I saw it coming from across the sea
So I was ready when it came for me
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus 2]
It’s breaking down, all around, while we sit here waiting
We’re burning light impatiently

[Chorus]
And now I’m trying, but I can’t see (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa)
All the good right in front of me (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa)
Sometimes, it feels like we’re constantly (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa)
Oh, in a state of emergen—, a state of emergency

[Bridge]
I’m digging for sunlight, I’m crawling for rain
I’m begging for something to lessen the pain
I’m buried alive, but I still hear my name
Oh, my name, oh, whoa
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh

[Breakdown]
I’m trying, but I can’t see
All the good right in front of me
Why does it feel like we’re constantly
In a state of emergency?
Whoa, oh, oh, whoa

[Outro]
A state of emergency (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa)
A state of emergency (Whoa, oh, oh, whoa)
A state of emergen—, a state of emergency
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
