Behind Closed Doors Lyrics - The Sufferer And The Witness - Rise Against

Chairs thrown and tables toppled 

Hands armed with broken bottles 

Standing no chance to win but 

We're not running, We're not running 

There's a point I think we're missing 

It's in the air we raise our fists in 

In the smiles we cast each other 

My sister, my brother 

About the time we gave up hoping 

We never find these locks still open 

Stumbling on stones unturned 

The hurt we feel, we all have earned 

The lines we cross in search of change 

But all they see is treason

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Although we have no obligation 

To stay alive 

On broken backs we beg for mercy 

We will survive 

Break all, I won't be left here 

Behind closed doors 

Bonfires burn like beacons 

Guiding the lost and weakened 

Flames dance on crashing waves 

Guiding ships who've gone astray 

Time out, let's stop to think this through 

We've all got better things to do 

Than talk in circles, run in place 

Answers are inches from our face 

Although we have no obligation 

To stay alive 

On broken backs we beg for mercy 

We will survive 

Break all! I won't be left here 

Behind closed doors 

Black eyes, broken fingers 

Blood drips and I let it run 

Down my lips into my swollen gums 

When hope is nonexistent 

Our instincts all scream "Run!" 

We never turn our backs or even bite our tongues 

Although we have no obligation 

To stay alive 

On broken backs we beg for mercy 

We will survive 

Break all, I won't be left here 

Behind closed doors 

(Behind closed doors) 

Although we have no obligation 

To stay alive 

On broken backs we beg for mercy 

We will survive 

Break all, I won't be left here 

Behind closed doors.
