Billy Talent Reactor
[Verse 1]
In the cold dead air of a Saturday night
There's a moonlit sky, but it don't feel right
The warnin' signs lit a spark inside
And you can't let it go
In a flash we see with a primitive eye
That the elephant pacing the room has died
Whispered thoughts turn to wasted worlds
And everybody knows
[Pre-Chorus]
You were caught in the middle of a knife fight long ago
Counting scars from the battle in your mind, you're not alone
[Chorus]
No, you can't push us back without a fight no more
No, you can't keep us running away, keep us running
No, you can't see the thunder in a lightning storm
No, you can't see what's coming your way, see what's coming
[Post-Chorus]
Reactors set to overload
And the dam of the river's ready to explode
[Verse 2]
In thе smoke-filled air of a Saturday night
Therе's a moonlit sky, but it don't feel right
Now you walk the streets as a raging fire
Burns out of control
As the sirens blare, all the people are scared
An invisible threat's hanging in the air
Now you watch your step where there ain't just breath
It's nightmare's taking hold
[Pre-Chorus]
You were caught in the middle of a knife fight long ago
Every day's new reality's a minefield for the soul
So immune to the damage, every night you take it home
Counting scars from the battle in your mind, you're not alone
[Chorus]
No, you can't push us back without a fight no more
No, you can't keep us running away, keep us running
No, you can't see the thunder in a lightning storm
No, you can't see what's coming your way, see what's coming
[Post-Chorus]
Reactors set to overload
And the dam of the river's gonna blow
[Bridge]
'Cause I can't breathe, I can't breathe
And an atmosphere catalyzed by fear
Our sons and daughters scream
I can't breathe, I can't breathe
And we can't stand still while they aim to kill
Our sons and daughters dreams
[Chorus]
No, you can't push us back without a fight no more
No, you can't keep us running away, keep us running
No, you can't see the thunder in a lightning storm
No, you can't see what's coming your way, see what's coming
[Post-Chorus]
Reactors set to overload
And the dam of the river's ready to explode
The act is set to overthrow
'Cause the dam of the river's ready to explode
