Rise Against - Pain Mgmt

Until they follow you in the dead of night
'Til their shadows line the walls (the wall)
Until they come for you as though they might
And do you answer when they call?

Or do you hide your face to avoid their gaze
Self-diagnosed, a hopeless case
Is there a better way?

I don't know what it would take to save your life
But if you give me a chance, I'd like to try
I'm not gonna say that it's alright
'Cause we both know
Yeah, we both know it's not alright

In the forest, when the serpent strikes
I would suck the poison dry
In the oceans, when the waters rise
I would drag you from the tide

I feel your shallow breath, your pulse slowing down
But I won't let you drown

I don't know what it would take to save your life
But if you give me a chance, I'd like to try
I'm not gonna say that it's alright
'Cause we both know
Yeah, we both know it's not alright, it's not alright

A demolition countdown, set to blow
But there's still on, somebody's home
But the chainsaw's purr (but the chainsaw's purr)
And the vultures start circling around

What's it gonna take to save your life?
Just give me a chance and I will try
I'm not gonna say that it's alright
'Cause we both know
Yeah, we both know that

I don't know what it would take to save your life
But if you give me a chance, I'd like to try
I'm not gonna say that it's alright
'Cause we both know
Yeah, we both know it's not alright, it's not alright
'Cause we both know
Yeah, we both know it's not alright
