Rise Against - Tip The Scales Lyrics

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? 

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 

[Chorus] 
When this is all said and done 
We've 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 

Promises we plan to break 
Are made in whispered voices 
Cuz' our despair knows many names 
We make mistakes 
But we apologize with roses 
We never stopped to smell on 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 

[Chorus] 

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 

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 
Throwing wrenches in the gears 
Our lives will not be lived in vain
