Rise Against - Sounds Like lyrics

[Verse 1] If everything that we love will burn down Then should we love no one and nothing? If all that we build falls down Then I will dig the deepest hole Dig down, down [Pre-Chorus] All the things we don't say might mean something Somewhere to someone But nothing here is ever good enough [Chorus] So we close our eyes and wait for something better (Whoa-oh-oh) Not knowing what we're even waiting for (Whoa-oh-oh) With our hands cupped to the sky, we wait forever (Whoa-oh-oh) Sacrificing light we're given Never knowing what we're living for [Verse 2] Can I have your attention, please? I've played the game, you see To make all these ends meet But it's not enough The fabric we all share All starts to rip and tear We're sending thoughts and prayers But they're not enough [Pre-Chorus] Words without action equal nothing They'll say when we're gone We've heard your excuses all before And this is what they sound like [Chorus] So we close our eyes and wait for something better (Whoa-oh-oh) Not knowing what we're even waiting for (Whoa-oh-oh) With our hands cupped to the sky, we wait forever (Whoa-oh-oh) Sacrificing light we're given Never knowing what we're living for We're living for, we're living for And this is what it sounds like (And this is what it sounds like) [Outro] So don't close your eyes, don't wait for something better Know exactly what it is you're waiting for Put your empty hands away, don't wait forever (Whoa-oh-oh) And don't sacrifice the light you're given Know exactly what you're living for
