Standing on the edge of the rest of my life   She says, "What are you so afraid of, what are you so afraid of?"   I'll drag my heels across this entire town   Let the blood run free   Let it flood the streets   Tonight this city drowns   It's going to drown      I'm gonna see this path through   I'll walk the straight and narrow   Till my legs are broken   Because there are some things in this world   I need to see with my own two eyes   to believe      Believing is not seeing   No to me, believing is breathing   And knowing that each breath won't be your last   Tomorrow, you wake up   and you decide with every glorious mistake   you can erase your past      I am a ticking time bomb   counting down with the swelling of my lungs   with the bursting of my lungs   I am the roar of a thousand lions strong   and tonight I sing my song   Tonight it carries on, it carries on      This all means nothing   If I never make it back   I'll retrace every footstep   Even if it takes a lifetime   to make it back to you   I just need to see you with my own two eyes   To believe, to believe this is true      I'm an open book   dying to be read   with a broken spine   and I'm showing thread   My cover is worn   and my pages are torn   Page after page I'm somehow trying   trying to persuade   That somehow this ending will be okay   But it's hard to believe everything you read      The cover's worn and the pages torn   Open me up and tear me apart
