A Beautiful Indifference - Rise Against

There’s a struggle coming but

To conquer, first they must divide

The machines keep humming night and day

How are we so unaware?

Why are you not afraid?

Protests are drumming

While you turn your nose

And roll your eyes

Knee-jerk reactions so ingrained

Judging from an arm chair

There is hate and there is love

And there is loss

But there is light

There is dark, then there is us

And whether this world burns

Is none of your concern

Caught up in a ticker-tape parade

But I have learned to stand up

And just to walk away

Sometimes the cold hearts aren’t

Worth the love or the hate

Learn to let go

Learn to walk away

Up from the shadows

I’m seduced by the light of the flame

But this time I’m here to stay

Gunpowder residue

Bright lights and turpentine

True colors shining through

As we are stripped of our exteriors

Because there is hate and there

Is love and there is loss

But there is right

And there is wrong then

There is us, we’re falling

Until we learn to stand up

And just to walk away

Sometimes the cold hearts aren’t

Worth the love or the hate

Learn to let go

Learn to walk away

Out from the shadows

I’m seduced by the

Light of the flame

This time I’m here to stay

Feet first into the quicksand

Every day we are surrendering

Never straying from the game plan

I keep hoping you will take

My hand and stand up

The water’s overflowing

The walls are breaking

But I will wait here knowing

That we can make it

And there’s a light still glowing

A light I’m chasing

I’ve been lost before

And I have been led astray

But this time I’m here to stay
