[Verse 1]

This town is c

older now, I t

hink it's sick

 of us

It's time to m

ake our move, 

I'm shakin' of

f the rust

art set on any

where but here
           
I'm staring do

              
wn myself, cou

              
nting up the y


ears
              
Steady hands, 

              
just take the 

  
wheel
              
And every glan

           
ce is killing 

me
              
Time to make o

    
ne last appeal

 for the life 

I lead

hat everyone g

ets scared
              
But I've becom

You start to w

Oh, can you se
