Music Has Saved My Life

Rise Against - Make It Stop

Woah, woah

Bang, bang, go the coffin nails

Like a breath exhaled, been gone forever

It seems just like yesterday

How did I miss the red flags raised?

Raise these back, the days we left

We braved these bitter storms together

Brought to his knees, he cried

But on his feet he died

What God would damn a heart?

And what God drove us apart?

What God could?

Make it stop, let this end

Eighteen years pushed to the ledge

It's come to this, a weightless step

On the way down singing

Woah, woah

Bang, bang, from the closet walls

The schoolhouse halls, the shotgun's loaded

Push me and I'll push back

I'm done asking, I demand

From a nation under God

I feel its love like a cattle prod

I'm born free but still they hate

I'm born me, no, I can't change

It's always darkest just before the dawn

So stay awake with me

Let's prove them wrong

Make it stop, let this end

Eighteen years pushed to the ledge

It's come to this, a weightless step

On the way down singing

Woah, woah

The cold river washed him away

But how could we forget?

Gathering the candles

But not their tongues

And too much blood has flown from the wrist

Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss

Who will rise to stop the blood

We're coming forth, insisting on

A different beat, yeah, a brand new song

Woah

A brand new song

Woah, woah, woah

(Woah)

Make it stop, let this end

This life chose me, I'm not lost in sin

(Woah)

And proud I stand, of who I am

I plan to go on living

(Woah)

Make it stop, let this end

All these years pushed to the ledge

(Woah)

And proud I stand, of who I am

I plan to go on living
