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
