State of Emergency Songtext
von Papa Roach

There's a movie playing in my head
Bombs falling and children crying
The sunrise and the sky turns red
Load your guns tonight
There's a song playing down the hall
All alone there's an old man dying
I can't feel anything at all
Something isn't right

This is a state of emergency
I've been running from a tragedy
There's a battle raging in my head
I don't wanna to be left for dead
This is a state of emergency
Don't wanna be another casualty
There's a cemetery in my head
I don't wanna be left for dead, left for dead
There's a world standing in my way


Father said that I best stop trying
Stand down, it will be okay
You don't have to fight
There's a picture hanging on the wall
Of a memory that I'm denying
The sun sets and the angels fall
Something isn't right
This is a state of emergency

I've been running from a tragedy
There's a battle raging in my head
I don't wanna be left for dead
This is a state of emergency
Don't wanna be another casualty
There's a cemetery in my head
I don't wanna be left for dead
No, don't leave me here alone

I don't wanna make this hell my home
I would rather die than sell my soul
I would rather lie than let you go
There's a voice screaming in my head
Telling me that I'd best stop crying

Stand up, it will be okay
Load your guns tonight
This is a state of emergency
I've been running from a tragedy


There's a battle raging in my head
I don't wanna be left for dead
This is a state of emergency
Don't wanna be another casualty
There's a cemetery in my head
I don't wanna be left for dead
State of emergency
State of emergency
State of emergency
I don't wanna be left for dead
Left for dead, left for dead
