The Ghosts We Will Become - Nations Afire

Cut down on the prime or our lives

We gotta crippling addiction to parade our inhibitions with pride

I can’t hear a single word that you say

Because the band won’t stop

'till everyone can hear what they’re saying

It makes me crazy

It’s something in me

At night so all alone

Am I am the only one who knows?

This ain’t a life

It’s a long death sentence

Take all you can from this curse

(open your eyes)

So tell me why you’re surprised we’re livid

When we live like the ghosts we’ll become

(this is our time rise)

Born ready for the final goodbye

It’s in the air we breathe like the cold kiss of the knife

I can’t abandon hope, abandon grace

I know they’re never with me

It makes me crazy

Is something wrong with me?

And now the summers gone

Am I the only one who knows?

This ain’t a life

It’s a long death sentence

Take all you can from this curse

(open your eyes)

So tell me why you’re surprised we’re livid

When we live like the ghosts we’ll become

(this is our time rise)

Rise, rise

This is your wake up call

Rise, rise

Nobody lives forever

Open your eyes

This is your wake up call

This ain’t a life

It’s a long death sentence

Take all you can from this curse

(open your eyes)

So tell me why you’re surprised we’re livid

When we live like the ghosts we’ll become

(this is our time rise)

This ain’t a life

It’s a long death sentence

Take all you can from this curse

(open your eyes)

So tell me why you’re surprised we’re livid

When we live like the ghosts we’ll become

(this is our time rise)

(rise)
