Rise Against ☆ The Dirt Whispered

She got down on hands and knees, one ear against the ground,

Holding her breath to hear something, but the dirt made not a sound tonight



Echoes of songs still lurk on distant foreign shores, where we

Danced just to please the gods that only ask for more, and so it goes



But still we give ourselves to this

We can’t spend our lives waiting to live



On cold nights

In a prayer for dawn

But daylight

Isn’t what she wants



The concrete

Calls my name again

I’m falling

Through the cracks I slip



The postcard says wish you were here

But I’d rather I was there, holding

On to the simple things before they disappear, that’s what I meant



But that was then, and this is now

I’ll make it up to you somehow



On cold nights

In a prayer for dawn

But daylight

Isn’t what she wants



The concrete

Calls my name again

I’m falling

Though the cracks I slip



A destination

A fading smile



Another station

Another mile

Another day gone



I swore that i will

Be there before dawn

So be there i will



She got down on hands and knees, one ear against the ground,

Holding her breath to hear something, anything at all



The Dirt Whispered, “Child, I’m coming home.”



On cold nights

In a prayer for dawn

But the daylight

Isn’t what she wants



The concrete

Calls my name again

I’m falling

Though the cracks I slip

I slip

Through the cracks I slip

Through the cracks I slip

Through the cracks I slip

Through the cracks I slip
