It was a wager with my demons for
A story told on stage
The dead had nothing settled in
I'm running out of space
They'll be coming to collect and I—
Can only pray it'll last
I'm running for so long, sometimes—
I wish I would collapse
This is a story of a dead man
Who is running out of time
They see me in the shadows
'Cos I take them where I hide
And I am grateful to believe that I
Could make it through the night
With every grain of sand, I am
Running out of time
I spill my blood into the moment
Pull my heart out on display
Will I ever make it back
I haven't slept alone in days
I see the fire of your anger
But I'm feeding up the flame
I understand that you're upset
I see you crying in the rain
You can find me bleeding
Kicking, screaming
Lost in the feeling
You have lost all reason
Where I will say
We're caught—
(In the eye of the storm)
It's not safe here
We're gone—
(In the eye of the storm)
I can't stay here
You will never live your life unbroken
You can stare into the sun
But your destiny is chosen
And the answers never come
So you think about surrender
And survival of the run
If you're caught out in the open
Then your destiny is done
I am the chest through all the masses for the conflicts that I face
Judgment cast in by the people who have never known the chase
Blight me damned—
It's dangerous to pretend I'm no disgrace
It's a race track neverending
Where the finish line's a grave
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
(Finish line's a grave)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
We're caught—
(In the eye of the storm)
It's not safe here
We're caught—
(In the eye of the storm)
I can't stay here
We're caught—
(In the eye of the storm)
I'm not afraid here
I'm caught
(In the eye of the storm)
I can't stay here
It was a wager with my demons for
A story told on stage
But the dead had not been settled and
I'm running out of space
They'll be coming to collect and I—
Can only pray it'll last
I'm running for so long—
I wish I would collapse
