Rise Against - The Dirt Whispered Lyrics
She got down on hands and knees, one ear against the ground,Holding her breath to hear something, but the dirt made not a sound tonightEchoes of songs still lurk on distant foreign shores, where weDanced just to please the gods that only ask for more, and so it goesBut still we give ourselves to thisWe can't spend our lives waiting to liveOn cold nightsIn a prayer for dawnBut daylightIsn't what she wantsThe concreteCalls my name againI'm fallingThrough the cracks I slipThe postcard says wish you were hereBut I'd rather I was there, holdingOn to the simple things before they disappear, that's what I meantBut that was then, and this is nowI'll make it up to you somehowOn cold nightsIn a prayer for dawnBut daylightIsn't what she wantsThe concreteCalls my name againI'm fallingThough the cracks I slipA destinationA fading smileAnother stationAnother mileAnother day goneI swore that i willBe there before dawnSo be there i willShe got down on hands and knees, one ear against the ground,Holding her breath to hear something, anything at allThe Dirt Whispered, "Child, I'm coming home."On cold nightsIn a prayer for dawnBut the daylightIsn't what she wantsThe concreteCalls my name againI'm fallingThough the cracks I slipI slipThrough the cracks I slipThrough the cracks I slipThrough the cracks I slipThrough the cracks I slip
