4ARM: RAISE A FIST Lyrics
WE CAN ALL ASPHYXIATE THE PROCESS
FROM DOWN WITHIN OUR HOLES
TYING DOWN DEPRESSIVE PUNCTURES
THE BURDEN OF IT ALL
AND WHEN THE WAR BEGINS
MY HANDS SHAKE FOR DAYS
STRIPPED OF OUR FINGERS
THIS IS HOW IT STARTS
I CAN’T BEGIN TO TELL YOU ALL THE TIMES I FELT LIKE SCREAMING
YOU’RE NOT LIKE ME AT ALL YOUR STILL ASLEEP AND FUCKING DREAMING
ALL I EVER WANTED WAS SOME PEACE BUT EVERYTHING DENIES IT
AND NOW YOU’RE ASKING ME TO SMILE WHILE YOU SINK THE PINS IN
PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME BY MYSELF NOW
IT AIN’T SAFE TO BE ALONE
I FIND IT HARD TO FIND A SINGLE PURPOSE
BUT I KNOW I MUST GO ON
SEARCH REASONS
IN A DARKENED DEAD PLACE
DIG DEEP NOW
SO I CAN SPIT IN IN YOUR FACE
I CAN’T BEGIN TO TELL YOU ALL THE TIMES I FELT LIKE SCREAMING
YOU’RE NOT LIKE ME AT ALL YOUR STILL ASLEEP AND FUCKING DREAMING
ALL I EVER WANTED WAS SOME PEACE BUT EVERYTHING DENIES IT
AND NOW YOU’RE ASKING ME TO SMILE WHILE YOU SINK THE PINS IN
OH, IF I MAKE A STAND
TO CRUSH THE WORLD
AFTER ALL IT’S KILLING OUT THE MASTER PLAN
YEAH, RAISE A FIST
I WON’T BREAK YOUR FALL
WHEN YOU’RE AT THE TOP THE ONLY WAY IS DOWN
RISE UP AND CONQUER
FED UP, NOW THEY’RE ASKING FOR IT
I CAN’T BEGIN TO TELL YOU ALL THE TIMES I FELT LIKE SCREAMING
YOU’RE NOT LIKE ME AT ALL YOUR STILL ASLEEP AND FUCKING DREAMING
ALL I EVER WANTED WAS SOME PEACE BUT EVERYTHING DENIES IT
AND NOW YOU’RE ASKING ME TO SMILE WHILE YOU SINK THE PINS IN
