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
