Parts Per Million - Rise Against

And the silence we’re creatin'

Like a ghost note symphony

There’s something wrong and the temperature is risin'

Ignoring every siren

As we’re marching towards the cliff

But these are choices that we don’t have to make

Block out the voices

'Cause they have led you astray

What I’ve been trying to say to you is that

There’s something in the water

There must be something in the air

Just 'cause I can’t put my finger on it

It doesn’t mean that — that it’s not there

Yeah, we are all turned on

But then we all tuned out

As we are hypnotised by the sparkling lies

We fall under their spell

But don’t forget that these are choices (choices)

That we don’t have to make

So many voices (voices)

That have led us astray

We can’t keep anything down

The room is spinning around

There must be something in the water

Yeah, there’s something in the air

Just 'cause I can’t put my finger on it

It doesn’t mean that — that it’s not there

You are the grains of sand

That slip through my hands again

And we are the hourglass

Love like a flame that can’t be held

Somewhere beyond the lives we burn

Lies the point of no return

Like the sand within an hourglass

(But there is something odd!

But there is something odd!)

But there is something in your eyes

That shakes me back to life

And though I can’t put my finger on it

Now I know we’re gonna be alright!

It’s gonna be alright!

It’s gonna be alright!

'Cause there is something in the water

Yeah, there is something in the water

In this life

We sink or swim or just float

We all die

Yeah, but did we live at all?
