Lyrics Tragedy + Time - Rise Against

On the edges of the sharpest knives
In the middle of the darkest nights
Always knew that I would find you here
In a puddle of the bravest tears
I've seen enough to know it's lonely where you are

Above the crowd, feet dangling from a rooftop
She waits from ledges for a voice to talk her down

And nothing matters but the pain when you're alone
The never-ending nights when you're awake
When you're praying that tomorrow it's ok
There will be a time to crack another smile
Maybe not today or for awhile
But we're holding on to laugh again someday
To laugh again someday

All that matters is the time we had
Doesn't matter how it all went bad
Never wonder what it might be like
Shut the door, say goodbye
When faced with tragedy
We come alive or come undone

So don't look back, let it shape you like an ocean
Even the deepest scars in time will fade

And nothing matters but the pain when you're alone
The never-ending nights when you're awake
When you're praying that tomorrow it's ok
There will be a time to crack another smile
Maybe not today or for awhile
But we're holding on to laugh again someday
Now we're holding on to laugh again someday

And sometimes you have to go back
To know just where you have been
But we're old enough to know that
What has been will be again and again

And the bravest of faces
Are the ones where we fake it
In the roles that we play

Nothing matters when the pain is all but gone
When you are finally awake
Despite the overwhelming odds tomorrow came
And when they see you crack a smile
And you decide to stay awhile
You'll be ready then to laugh again

And nothing matters but the pain
(We are tragedy, yeah, we are sympathy)
And nothing matters but the pain (you see what you want to see)
And nothing matter but the pain
(We are misery and distant memories)
And nothing matters but the pain (but we all learn to laugh again)
Yeah, we all learn to laugh again
Oh, we all learn to laugh again
