Lyrics Sudden Life - Rise Against

Sudden Life

Floating in the clouds, I’m giving up the fight
A voice is calling out, I’m walking into the light
We used to race a thousand miles a day so fast
Feet, they barely even touched the ground
We used to fly to places out beyond our own little world
The fury and the sun
I saw it flicker like a television set
Bright flashes of a warning sign
Flipping channels in a world gone static
Eroding away line by the fading line
Under water for years we found
So much harder to swim than drown
The current takes us, now we’re walking into the light
Are you dying all your life?
(Walking into the light)
Broken, beat, and tired out
You want to live but don’t know how
Diagnosis: sudden life, can no one revive me now?
Feels like I’m walking into the light
Woke up floating on a wave of golden sound
Tunnel vision and a great beyond
Heart beating like a rhythm slowing
Down 'tll it’s gone, an echo of a song
Flat line and a closing bell, whisper a warm farewell
The flames are beckoning as we’re walking into the light
Are you dying all your life?(Walking into the light)
Broken, beat, and tired out
You want to live but don’t know how
Diagnosis: sudden life, can no one revive me now?
Feels like I’m walking into the light
Don’t suppose that you know the way?
Don’t suppose that you care?
I see lights up ahead and
Hear cries of angels ring in my ears
But you know that had you a choice
You would go back and do it again
We all have unfinished business to tend
So no I won’t go gentle into the good night
You can keep your candle
I’m walking away from the light
Yeah I’m walking away from the light
I’m walking away from the light
I’m walking away from the light
I’m walking away from the light
Diagnosis: sudden life (Walking into the light)
I woke up my heart racing
I’m at a loss explaining why
Are you dying all your life?
Then put your darkest days behind
Let life flash right before your eyes
And for very the first time
It feels like I’m walking away from the light
