It's up to you This ain't no TV show You watch my head explode Ten thousand hours every day No time to be afraid Chase out the rattlesnakes Don't let your fear control your fate The ghost of self-denial It whispers from the grave The road you can't rely on The risk that you must take I'm running across the tracks (And I'll never go back) Oh, I'm running across the tracks (And I'll never go back) I'm pulling the blindfolds back On a dead-end life I'm running across the tracks (And I'll never go back) I'm running across the tracks (And I'll never go back) I'm gonna escape this trap Gotta get out alive Stuck in this prison cell Just like a criminal I count the years that went to waste If this road goes to Hell I'll fight back when I fail Made a career from my mistakes The ghost of self-denial It whispers from the grave The road you can't rely on Could be your saving grace I'm running across the tracks (And I'll never go back) Oh, I'm running across the tracks (And I'll never go back) I'm pulling the blindfolds back On a dead-end life I'm running across the tracks (And I'll never go back) I'm running across the tracks (And I'll never go back) I'm gonna escape this trap Gotta get out alive And every step that I aim to take (I fall behind, I fall behind) And every neck that I had to break (These scars are mine, these scars are mine) And every day 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 The stars aligned And words just can't explain the struggle of a dead man's fight A dead man's fight And silver spoons can't buy the wisdom of a hard-earned life A hard-earned life Every step that I aim to take (I fall behind, I fall behind) And every neck that I had to break (These scars are mine, these scars are mine) And every day that I 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 it through It's up to you I'm running across the tracks (And I'll never go back) Oh, I'm running across the tracks (And I'll never go back) I'm pulling the blindfolds back On a dead-end life I'm running across the tracks (And I'll never go back) I'm running across the tracks (And I'll never go back) I'm gonna escape this trap Gotta get out alive Every step that I aim to take (I fall behind, I fall behind) And every neck that I had to break (These scars are mine, these scars are mine) And every day that I 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
