Rise Against - Reception Fades lyrics

you talk about the way things were

but I can't hear what you're saying

a time when life was not this hard

blessed by the innocence

is the best yet to come?

or did it pass by long ago?

are we holding on to a thread

of something already dead?

Im not your reason to stand up straight

shoulders back chest out and eyes raised

stepping back, I hesitate

I can't let myself be taken

the reception fades the signals breaking up

and am I moving on or am I giving up?

If you walk away from this with anything

live your life today.
