RISE AGAINST lyrics : "People Live Here"
And the walls of my house
Are so thick I hear nothing at all
I followed you out in the storm
But it carried you off
And I burned every picture of yours
Was that not enough
My gun is bigger than yours
So letâ??s arm the masses
And see what the !@$( do then
Walking tall once set us apart
Now weâ??re down on all fours
Do you cry my name in the dark
Like I do yours
These storms are getting stronger now
The trusses all bend and sway
The lightning hits
The power goes out in the fray
As the waves crash high
And the shoreline disappears
I will scream to the sky
Hey people live here
But my dreams are not unlike yours
They long for the safety and
Brake like a glass chandelier
But thereâ??s laughter and oh there is love
Just past the edge of our fear
And thereâ??s chaos when push comes to shove
But itâ??s music to my ears
May you be in heaven before
The devil knows youâ??re dead
And may these winds be always at your back
Because when weâ??re all ghosts
And the madness overtakes us
We will look at the ashes
And say people lived here
From the penthouse to the holy martyr
Sea to shining sea
From the coffins full of kindergartners
Is this what you call free
From the hate that drips from all your crosses
Are your hands so clean
Thereâ??s a wildfire
And itâ??s spreading far
From sea to shining sea
When weâ??re all ghosts
And the madness overtakes us
I will scream to the sky
Yeah Iâ??ll scream to the sky
Yeah Iâ??ll scream to the sky
Hey people live here
