Intro
It's up to you!
Verse 1
This ain't no TV show
You watch my head explode
Ten thousand
hours every day
No time to be afraid
Chase up the
rattle snakes
Don't let your fear
control your fate
Refrain 1
The ghost of self denial
It whispers from the grave
The road you can't rely on
Is a risk that you must take
Chorus
I'm running across the tracks
(And I'm never coming back)
Oh, I'm running across the tracks
(And I'm never coming back)
Pulling the blindfolds back
All we did in life
I'm running across the tracks
(And I'm never coming back)
Oh, I'm running across the tracks
(And I'm never coming back)
We're gonna escape
this trap Gotta get a life
Verse 2
Stuck in this prison cell
Just like a criminal
I count the years
that went to waste
If this road goes to hell
I'm right back where I fell
Made a career from my mistakes
Refrain 2
The ghost of self denial
It whispers from the grave
The road you can't rely on
Could be your saving grace
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
And every step that
I aim to take
(I fall behind
I fall behind)
And every leg that
I have to break
(These scars are mine
These scars are mine)
And everyday that
I'd pray for you
(I close my eyes
I close my eyes)
At least I can say
that we made it through
(The stars aligned
The stars aligned
The stars aligned
Verse 3
And words just
can't explain
the struggle of a
dead men's fight
A dead mens fight
And silver spoons get
by the wasted mother
hard earns life
A hard earns life
Verse 4
Every step that
I aim to take
(I fall behind
I fall behind)
And every leg that
I have to break
(These scars are mine
These scars are mine)
And everyday that
I'd pray for you
(I close my eyes
I close my eyes)
And I hope that
you make it through
Yeah I hope that
you make through
--- (hold)
It's up to you!
(Repeat Chorus)
Outro
And every step that
I aim to take
(I fall behind
I fall behind)
And every leg that
I have to break
(These scars are mine
These scars are mine)
And everyday that
I'd pray for you
(I close my eyes
I close my eyes)
At least I can say
that we made it through
(The stars aligned
The stars aligned)
