Lyrics:

“Life Less Frightening” is the third single from Rise Against’s third studio album Siren Song of the Counter Culture.
Suffering from something we're not sure of
In a world there is no cure for
These lives we live test negative for happiness
Flat line, no pulse, but eyes open
Single file like soldiers on a mission
If there's no war outside our heads
Why are we losing?

I don't ask for much
Truth be told I'd settle
For a life less frightening
A life less frightening
I don't ask for much
Truth be told I'd settle
For a life less frightening
A life less frightening

Hang me out to dry, I'm soaking
With the sins of knowing
What's gone wrong
But doing nothing, I still run
Time again I have found myself stuttering
Foundations pulled out from under me
This breath is wasted on them all
Will someone answer me

I don't ask for much
Truth be told I'd settle
For a life less frightening
A life less frightening
I don't ask for much
Truth be told I'd settle
For a life less frightening
A life less frightening

Is there a God tonight
Up in the sky
Or is it empty just like me?
A place where we can hide
Out from the night
Where you are all I see
So blow a kiss goodbye then close your eyes
Tell me what you see
A lifetime spent inside this dream of mine
Where you are all I see

I don't ask for much
Truth be told I'd settle
For a life less frightening
A life less frightening
I don't ask for much
Truth be told I'd settle
For a life less frightening
A life less frightening
