The Rails

You run away even though you should stay You try to think, although you should pray Try to avoid that curtain call That echoes back from it all You love the mistakes along the way At least you hear, that's what they say You muted yourself, only to see That there's a path for humanity Spent an eternity All alone, away from home Paralyzed in the shadow Of your own mind Just too much to find A vigil by the body Frozen to the bone Too afraid to be happy When you finally come home You tell me black or white Time to put on your battle face Define what you are and do it right Yeah, do it right Until you hit the rails Until you hit the rails Until you hit the rails You ran away when you should've stayed You tried to think when you should've prayed Tried to avoid that certain song That kept on saying: You are wrong! You loved the mistakes All along the way At least you hear, that's what they say You muted yourself Only to see That there's a path for humanity You tell me black or white Time to put on your battle face Define what you are And do it right Yeah, do it right Until you hit the rails Until you hit the rails Until you hit the rails Hit the rails You tell me black or white Time to put on your battle face Define what you are And do it right Yeah, do it right Until you hit the rails Until you hit the rails Until you hit the rails Rails Until you hit the rails Rails Hit the rails
