Behind Closed Doors Songtext

von Rise Against

Chairs thrown and tables toppled
Hands armed with broken bottles
Standing no chance to win but
We're not running, we're not running

Theres a point I think we're missin
Its in the air we raise our fists in
In the smiles we cast eachother
My sister, my brother

How bout the time we gave up hope and
We never find these locks still open
Stumbling on stones unturned
The hurt we fear with our heaven

The lives we crossed in search of change
But all they see is treason

Although we have no obligation
To stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy
We will survive
(break out), I wont be left here
Behind closed doors

Bon fires burn like beacons
Guiding the lost and weakened
Flames dance on crashing waves
Guiding ships who've gone astray

Time out lets stop and think this through
And find out better things to do
We'll talk in circles, run in place
Answers inches from our face

Although we have no obligation
To stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy
We will survive
(break out), I wont be left here
Behind closed doors

Black eyes, broken fingers
Blood drips, and I let it run
Down my, lips and to my swollen gums
When hope is non-existant
Our instincts all scream run
We never, turn our backs
Or even bite our tongues

Although we have no obligation
To stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy
We will survive
(break out), I wont be left here
Behind closed doors

Although we have no obligation
To stay alive
On broken backs we beg for mercy
We will survive
(break out), I wont be left here
Behind closed doors
