Songtexte State Of Emergency - Rise Against

I need a sound that's too loud to ignore
I wanna dance in the path of the storm
When they came, I didn't say a thing
So I was sleeping when they came for me
Oh, oh, whoa, oh
(Oh, oh, whoa, oh)

I woke up to a world hypnotized
To its power, I shielded my eyes
So slow, nobody's noticing
Tide rising right 'round our feet
Oh, oh, whoa, oh
(Oh, oh, whoa, oh)

I chased the sound, 'cause the sound, well, it's never failed me
I feel the clouds hover over me

And now I'm trying, but I can't see (oh, oh, oh, oh)
All the good right in front of me (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Why does it feel like we're constantly (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, in a state of emergency? (Oh, oh, whoa, oh)

Though we all understand what the story's about
'Til we all shake our heads, stamp our feet, scream and shout, hey
I saw it coming from across the sea
So I was ready when it came for me
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
(Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)

It's breaking down, all around, while we sit here waiting
We're burning light impatiently

And now I'm trying, but I can't see (oh, oh, oh, oh)
All the good right in front of me (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Why does it feel like we're constantly (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, in a state of emergen-, in a state of emergency? (Oh, oh, whoa, oh)

I'm digging for sunlight, I'm crawling for rain
I'm begging for something to lessen the pain
I'm buried alive, but I still hear my name
Oh, my name, oh, whoa

(Whoa, oh, oh, oh)
(Whoa, oh, oh, oh)

I'm trying, but I can't see
All the good right in front of me
Why does it feel like we're constantly
Oh, in a state of emergency? (Oh, oh, whoa, oh)

A state of emergency (oh, oh, oh, oh)
A state of emergency (oh, oh, oh, oh)
A state of emergen-, a state of emergency
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
