Rise Against
Talking to Ourselves
[Verse 1]
We're waiting for something to happen
But nothing is snapping us out of this trance
Our eyelids are heavy and soon, we're all ready
To obey every single command
[Pre-Chorus]
But I feel lost, no map in front of me
And I don't know which way is up
Wishing we could just hit pause
Just enough to breathe
Oh, why can't I shake you
Awake from this dream?
[Chorus]
I never wanted to disturb the peace
But it feels like no one's listening
Are we talking to ourselves?
Are we just talking to ourselves?
[Verse 2]
I'm so good at spеaking out of turn
And talking back, I have some nervе
If I said this all to your face
Forgive me, sometimes I forget my place
[Pre-Chorus]
So what's it gonna be?
Will you dig in or give up?
Lean in or just get lost?
Drift away from here
This demands your attention
So hear me when I say
[Chorus]
I never wanted to disturb the peace
But it feels like no one's listening
Are we talking to ourselves?
Are we just talking to ourselves?
[Bridge]
What are we trying to say?
And tell me, what would it take
To pry open their eyes?
I would wade in the water
I'll stand in the fire
I am not afraid
And I would break down the door
If you give me the sign
For the chance to be yours
I would lay down my life
I am not afraid
[Chorus]
I swear I never wanted to disturb the peace
But it feels like no one's listening
Are we talking to ourselves?
Yeah, are we talking to ourselves?
