Rise Against – Life Less Frightening lyrics

Suffering from something we're not sure of in a world there is no cure for
These lives we live test negative for happiness
Flat line, no pulse, but eyes open
Single file like soldiers on a mission
If there's no war outside our heads
Why are we losing?

I don't ask for much
Truth be told I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening
I don't ask for much
Truth be told I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening

Hang me out to dry I'm soaking
With the sins of knowing
What's gone wrong, but doing nothing I still run
Time again I have found myself stuttering
Foundations pulled out from under me
This breath is wasted on them all
Will someone answer me?

I don't ask for much
Truth be told I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening
I don't ask for much
Truth be told I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening

Is there a god tonight
Up in the sky
Or is it empty just like me?
(just like me)
A place where we can hide
I long to find
Where you are all I see.
(where you are all I see)
So blow a kiss goodbye then close your eyes
And tell me what you see?
(tell me what I see)
A lifetime spent inside
This dream of mine
Where you are all I see...

I don't ask for much
Truth be told I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening
I don't ask for much
Truth be told I'd settle for a life less frightening
A life less frightening
