 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  up the
 rattle snakes
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
 Is a risk  that you must take
 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
 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
 The ghost  of self denial
 It whispers  from the grave
 The road  you can't rely  on
 Could be your saving grace
 (Repeat Chorus)
 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
F----- <--- Guitar Solo
 The stars aligned
 The stars aligned
 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
 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)
 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
