Tip The Scales Lyrics - Rise Against

Are we so alone 

So distant 

So forgotten 

As we think ourselves to be? 

These are our lives 

But did they ever even matter? 

Are we worth remembering? 

These machines feed on the tears of broken lives and dying dreams 

We're throwing wrenches in the gears 

Our lives will not be lived in vain 

When this is all said and done 

We spent this life on the run 

Judged by the company we keep

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

Our language, buried inside 

These lungs that keep us alive 

We breathe so selfishly 

Promises we plan to break 

Are made in whispered voices 

Cause our despair knows many names 

We make mistakes 

But we apologize with roses we never stop to smell along the way 

These machines feed on the tears of broken lives and dying dreams 

We're throwing wrenches in the gears 

Our lives will not be lived in vain 

When this is all said and done 

We spent this life on the run 

Judged by the company we keep 

Our language, buried inside 

These lungs that keep us alive 

We breathe so selfishly 

We fell from the sky today 

We melt into balls of clay 

We sell ourselves everyday 

Don't tell me how to live this way (live this way) 

Pushed so far to the edge 

We teeter just on the brink 

You can lead me to the bloodbath 

But you can't make me drink 

As these machines feed on the tears of broken lives and dying dreams 

We're throwing wrenches in the gears 

Our lives will not be lived in vain 

My life will not be lived in vain!
