  • And tell me, where does the time really go?
    Tell me, when is this moment we're all waiting for?
    In a wasteland so barren
    A dead zone where nothing can grow

    I swear I have been here before
    I'm pleading for something 'til my bed is sore
    Standing in water that's been rising before I was born
    And time alone can suffocate
    I'm choking on everything we made
    We're burning through each day

    I swear to God, this can't wait one more minute, one more day
    I feel the ground shaking underneath me
    There's a lot here at stake
    If you're hearing what I'm saying, just nod if you understand me
    Just nod if you understand me

    Expecting to grow to infinity
    Is like building a boat designed to sink
    Are you saving the world so desperately?
    Or are you holding a gun, demanding peace?

    Because the line that is drawn
    Between nightmares and dreams
    Is thin like a razor, and we're fast asleep
    When do we smile, yeah, and when do we weep?

    I swear to God this can't wait one more minute, one more day
    I feel the ground shaking underneath me
    There's a lot here at stake
    If you're hearing what I'm saying, just nod if you understand me

    Just nod
    Or if you think it's going all too fast
    Oh, just nod
    If you think that maybe this can't last
    Oh, just nod

    I swear to God this can't wait one more minute, one more day
    I feel the ground shaking underneath me
    There's a lot here at stake
    If you're hearing what I'm saying, just nod if you understand me

    Well, just nod
    Well, just nod
    Well, oh, just nod Writer/s: Brandon Barnes, Joe Principe, Tim McIlrath, Zach Blair
