Lyrics Rise Against – I Don’t Want To Be Here Anymore

On pins and needles we are waiting for the fall
We count the days scratching lines on the wall
Wait in the wings at someone’s beck and call

No longer recognize the place that I call home

We backed down
We took no for answers far too long
We felt those walls close around

I don’t want to be here anymore
I don’t want to be here anymore

I don’t want to be here anymore (be here anymore)
I know there’s nothing left worth staying for
Your paradise is something I’ve endured
See I don’t think I can fight this anymore (fight this anymore)
I’m listening with one foot out the door
And something has to die to be reborn
I don’t want to be here anymore

On hand and foot we answered every single call
And weathered every day like passing storms
But when they break, we will all be gone

Won’t back down
Won’t take no for answers anymore
These walls close, we pace back and forth

I don’t want to be here anymore (be here anymore)
I know there’s nothing left worth staying for
Your paradise is something I’ve endured
See I don’t think I can fight this anymore (fight this anymore)
I’m listening with one foot out the door
But something has to die to be reborn

The point where we break gets closer everyday
But where do we go?
But where do we go?

I don’t want to be here anymore
I don’t want to be here anymore

I don’t want to be here anymore (be here anymore)
I know there’s nothing left worth staying for
Your paradise is something I’ve endured
See I don’t think I can fight this anymore (fight this anymore)
I’m listening with one foot out the door
But something has to die to be reborn
I don’t want to be here anymore

(We need a better way)
(We need to let go)

Anymore
(We need a better way)
(We need to let go)
(We need a better way)
