Driver F - The Inevitability of Closing a Hat lyrics

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
