Please don't ask me how
I ended up at my wits end and breaking down
Pages torn from books we never read
because we're plugged into this grid
don't pull this plug right now or then we'd really have to live
when i die will they remember not what i did but what i haven't done?
it's not the end that i fear with each breath, it's life that scares me to death
when we built these dreams on sand
how they all slipped through our hands
this might be our only chance
let's take this one day at a time
i'll hold your hand if you hold mine
the time that we kill keeps us alive
your words won't save me now
i'm at the edge feeling the sweat drip from my brow
get a grip on yourself is what they say
every hour every day
hands over my ears, i've been screaming all these years
when i die will they remember not what i did but what i haven't done?
it's not the end that i fear with each breath, it's life that scares me to death
when we built these dreams on sand
how they all slipped through our hands
this might be our only chance
let's take this one day at a time
i'll hold your hand if you hold mine
the time that we kill keeps us alive
we came in search of answers
we left empty handed again
shots fired into the sky are now returning
where the fuck will you hide?
hiding from the laughter in the closet of our lives
but the door hinges are squeaking letting in thin shards of light
and now a hand's extending outward, quiet comfort they invite
do we dare take what they offer, do we step into the light?
when i die will they remember not what i did but what i haven't done?
it's not the end i fear with each breath, it's life that scares me to death
when we built these dreams on sand
how they all slipped through our hands
this might be our only chance
let's take this one day at a time
i'll hold your hand if you hold mine
the time that we kill keeps us alive

When I die,
will they remember not what I've done, but what I haven't done?
It's not the end that I fear with each breath;
It's life that scares me to death...
I love rise against, and the way there are so many ways to interpret their songs.
Rock on,
Kenny
mind-blowing | Reviewer: skyler | 6/26/09
what can u say bad about RA? absolutely nothing imo. this song blew my mind the first time i heard it and still does whenever i hear it. so few songs do that these days, and RA is one of those few bands where every song is great.
This is one of the songs where Rise is pretty directly singing about activism for a good cause. There's Gay Rights, Animal Protection, Anti Genocide (most important), Anti War, and on and on... but this is one of the songs that keeps me going with activism, they don't have enough songs with that direct focus. Hey, you should do something too, go to: www.charitywater.org and www.genocideintervention.net
my loves | Reviewer: Janet | 7/23/08

Opening | Reviewer: Jesse | 5/3/08
As I was listening to this song, I believe that instead of, "Please don't ask me how
I ended up at my wits end and breaking down", I heard " Please don't ask me how
I ended up at my wits end and THEN breaking down". Maybe I right, maybe I'm worng but I am pretty sure I heard a then in there.
pure awsomeness | Reviewer: Me | 1/31/08
This song is probably one of the best songs they have done i think. talks about life, in general, in my opinion. kinda. =]
Its so good i even learnt most of it on my guitar, i love it.
maybe I should cover this with my band? what do you think?
great band | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/28/07
Rise against is a great band and they think about theyre lyrics carefully and they mean each word they put into their songs.

When I die, will they remember not what I've done, but what I haven't done?
It's not the end that I fear with each breath; It's life that scares me to death...
If ever a song captured all the basic emotions, fears and questions of humanity, this is it...
Rise Against truly is an amazing band...even though the lyrics are just a bunch of words and the group's just a few guys on guitars and drums, this song still made me cry when I first heard it... Something to aspire to, methinks...
good. | Reviewer: Tyler Q. | 12/14/07
Rise Against is by far the greatest band on this earth, and like the rest of you all out there, i also think this has a very deep message behind just a song. this band has been my fav for quite a while now, i listen to them every dayyyyyyyyy! ROCK ON!!!!!
