Anywhere But Here
Rise Against
Siren Song Of The Counter Culture (2004)

We've been alright up until now
But the air that we breathe is about to run out
We've rehearsed our lines clear and loud
But the cue never came and the lights
They never went down
So we're passing the time
While time passes us
The fast lanes a term never applied to us
Without a dime to my name
Or a prayer in the world
I walk out the door

Destination anywhere but here
Away from you

Now I'm on my way to the other side
(On my way)
I'll forget everything I left behind
(On my way)
These empty rooms
(On my way)
Are still filled with you
(On my way)

So I dropped out of my own race
A race with no finish line
No first or last place
These faces all rush right past me
I turn and walk away
'Cause we finally know now what our
Time here's about, we were not meant to be
Another face in the crowd
We're a forest of lives
But we grow tall and wide
We'll never be cut down

Destination anywhere but here
Away from you

Now I'm on my way to the other side
(On my way)
I'll forget everything I left behind
(On my way)
These empty rooms
(On my way)
Are still filled with you
(On my way)

I'm so tired and turned around and scared
I'm lying in empty beds again
I'll wait for you to come, to your senses
Barbed-wire fences won't keep me from breaking through
I swear I will to you

Now I'm on my way to the other side
(On my way)
I'll forget everything I left behind
(On my way)
These empty rooms
(On my way)
Are still filled with you
(On my way)
Are still filled with you
(On my way)

I'm so tired and turned around and scared
I'm lying in empty beds again
Away from you
