Think fast, the train's off the tracks
It skipped off the map
It cuts through a dying scene
Burn the scripts, we're all coming clean
A lost cause is not always lost
We're sick of the costs
We're tired of losing sleep
Shake awake and realize the dream
Just see
Is it all a faded memory?
Godspeed to the rocket man, far out of reach
It's time
Time served is all well-deserved
It's what you have heard
It feels like a dead end
Fight back or let it sink in
I'm not afraid of my past,
I've taken some chances
Fell flat on my face
These scars are what's giving chase
Let's see
Is it all a faded memory?
Godspeed to the rocket man, far out of reach
It's all these easy distractions that I'm always after
I've got some left to find
Snuck out back before the sun could rise
And left her parents for the first time
Tossed her sail into the overgrowth
Turned the corner, now she's gone for good
Found a clean slate for her baby
Daddy used to like to drink a lot
But mommy prayed until she found God
His teenage daughter from a one-night stand
Is ten days late, and now he's lost his head
No one remembers what was never said
He grew up inside a broken home
His father died when he was so young
Never could put it all to rest
This girl shows up, the news caves his chest
One night a fire never fanned the flame
She dropped out and never finished school
He fucked around until his girl was through
Kicked to the curb, she said, "I'll raise him myself"
She ran off, the shame would be his own hell
How could she do this?
How would they survive?
Have you ever felt the changing days?
Have you ever seen the way
That you could move onto the next
One step left
In over your head, never bound to regress
Then she wakes up, puts on her makeup
Leaves the empty coffee cup on the table
Desperate to find her own satellite
Midnight scars are the stars in her eyes
It's alright, it's alright
We'll get out alive
It's alright, it's alright
It's all about the struggle that we're living in
It's all about the made-up games
I changed my mind three times before I opened my eyes to the morning
My best friend is lying next to me, but she's asleep
I do not dare to wake her up
Just to say that I'm fucked up on
All the empty promises and bottles doing time
Come together if you want to make this better
Because the way we live is miserable
Take advantage
And take back the reigns of how you live your life
Or take your fucking time
If you want to follow, let's go
Chase me down the rabbit hole
Because I could use a new lifeline
Not another pill to swallow, just stay gold
If you want to go and get it, get it while you're still young and restless
Leave it all on the front line
Take the left that's right
I laugh it off to say the least
Some clichés have become belief
But all you cherry pricks were cherry-picked to satisfy my rage
I know we all can't beat the clock
But if I could, I'd smash it all to pieces
It's overdue
You can't keep going if you never want to leave your living room
Come together if you want to make this better
Because the way we live is miserable
Take advantage
And take back the reigns of how you live your life
Or take your fucking time
If you want to follow, let's go
Chase me down the rabbit hole
Because I could use a new lifeline
Not another pill to swallow, just stay gold
If you want to go and get it, get it while you're still young and restless
Leave it all on the front line
Take the left that's right
I'm just a problem child
Running away with imagination
And you're a problem child
Who's got a way with communication
If you want to follow, let's go
Chase me down
