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
And I don't want to be left for dead
This is a state of emergency
Don't want to be another casualty
There's a cemetary in my head
And I don't want to be left for dead

No
Don't leave me here alone
I don't want to 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 best stop crying
Stand up it will be ok
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
And I don't want to be left for dead
This is a state of emergency
Don't want to be another casualty
There's a cemetary in my head
And I don't want to be left for dead

State of emergency
State of emergency
State of emergency
I don't want to be left for dead
Left for dead

State of Emergency Lyrics

There's a movie playing in my head
Bombs falling and children crying
The sun rise 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
And I don't want to be left for dead
This is a state of emergency
Don't want to be another casualty
There's a cemetary in my head
And I don't want to 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 ok
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
And I don't want to be left for dead
This is a state of emergency
Don't want to be another casualty
There's a cemetary in my head
And I don't want to be left for dead

No
Don't leave me here alone
I don't want to 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 best stop crying
Stand up it will be ok
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
And I don't want to be left for dead
This is a state of emergency
Don't want to be another casualty
There's a cemetary in my head
And I don't want to be left for dead

State of emergency
State of emergency
State of emergency
I don't want to be left for dead
Left for dead
Left for dead

Papa Roach is a hard rock band from Vacaville, California, United States. Formed in 1993, it consists of Jacoby Shaddix (vocals), Jerry Horton (guitar), Tobin Esperance (bass), and Tony Palermo (drums).
