Runnin' Across the Tracks
Billy Talent

It's up to you!

This ain't no TV show

You watch my head explode

Ten thousand hours every day

No time to be afraid

Chase up the rattle snakes

Don't let your fear control your fate

The ghost of self denial

It whispers from the grave

The road you can't rely on

Is a risk that you must take

I'm running across the tracks,

(And I'm never coming back)

Oh, I'm running across the tracks,

(And I'm never coming back)

Pulling the blindfolds back

All we did in life

I'm running across the tracks,

(And I'm never coming back)

Oh, I'm running across the tracks,

(And I'm never coming back)

We're gonna escape this trap

Gotta get a life

Stuck in this prison cell

Just like a criminal

I count the years that went to waste

If this road goes to hell

I'm right back where I fell

Made a career from my mistakes

The ghost of self denial

It whispers from the grave

The road you can't rely on

Could be your saving grace

I'm running across the tracks,

(And I'm never coming back)

Oh, I'm running across the tracks,

(And I'm never coming back)

Pulling the blindfolds back

All we did in life

I'm running across the tracks,

(And I'm never coming back)

Oh, I'm running across the tracks,

(And I'm never coming back)

We're gonna escape this trap

Gotta get a life

And every step that I aim to take

(I fall behind, I fall behind)

And every leg that I have to break

(These scars are mine, These scars are mine)

And everyday that I'd pray for you

(I close my eyes, I close my eyes)

At least I can say that we made it through

(The stars aligned, The stars aligned)

The stars aligned

The stars aligned

And words just can't explain the struggle of a dead men's fight

A dead mens fight

And silver spoons get by the wasted mother hard earns life

A hard earns life

Every step that I aim to take

(I fall behind, I fall behind)

And every leg that I have to break

(These scars are mine, These scars are mine)

And everyday that I'd pray for you

(I close my eyes, I close my eyes)

And I hope that you make it through

Yeah, I hope that you make through

It's up to you!

I'm running across the tracks,

(And I'm never coming back)

Oh, I'm running across the tracks,

(And I'm never coming back)

Pulling the blindfolds back

All we did in life

I'm running across the tracks,

(And I'm never coming back)

Oh, I'm running across the tracks,

(And I'm never coming back)

We're gonna escape this trap

Gotta get a life

And every step that I aim to take

(I fall behind, I fall behind)

And every leg that I have to break

(These scars are mine, These scars are mine)

And everyday that I'd pray for you

(I close my eyes, I close my eyes)

At least I can say that we made it through

(The stars aligned, The stars aligned)

The stars aligned
