Drones - Rise Against

Deep inside these burning buildings
Voices die to be heard

Years we spent teaching a lesson

We ourselves had never learned

And if strength is born from heartbreak

Many mountains I could move

And if walls could speak I'd pray

That they would tell me what to do

If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by.

Forget my name and I'll forget it too.

Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives

Always keep me coming back to you.

No signs of life here, save the embers, the occasional flame,

We'd know the way but can't remember, conception to the grave,

Shout confessions from the greatest heights, where no one can hear,

All my fears, my insecurities are falling like tears.

If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by.

Forget my name and I'll forget it too.

Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives

Always keep me coming back to you.

The drones will slave away, they're working overtime,

They serve a faceless queen, they never question why.

Disciples of a God, they neither live nor breathe, (I won't come back!)

But we have bills to pay, yeah we have mouths to feed! (I won't come back!)

I won't come back!

And if you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by.

Forget my name and I'll forget it too.

Failed attempts at living simple lives, simple lives

Always keep me coming back to you.

I'm coming back to you!
