Cold night
Dark December
Half 9
When death takes over you
Life ain’t as perfect back as when we were kids
I’m reminiscing ‘bout the days forgotten ‘fore all of this
It’s taking me back to the moment you picked up the phone
You lying there bleeding
I’m writing at home
I dropped the guitar
Hitting the road
Chasing sirens beck & call
Racing through the night
To get to you alive
Checking every patient
Every hospital
I’m running through the lights
Driving on the right
Tryn’a find out if you’ll make it all
Clinging onto life
Choppers in the sky
Shutting out the light like I’m fighting off the Afterlife
Clinging onto life
Pulling out the knife
Twenty years gone and I’m fighting off the Afterlife
It’s only getting harder looking after your peers
When you’re becoming unfamiliar with their current affairs
They’re taking a switchblade to the ribcage arguing over theft
They left you bleeding on the pavement six holes in your chest
Racing through the night
To get to you alive
Checking every patient
Every hospital
I’m running through the lights
Driving on the right
Tryn’a find out if you’ll make it all
Clinging onto life
Choppers in the sky
Shutting out the light like I’m fighting off the Afterlife
Clinging onto life
Pulling out the knife
Twenty years gone and I’m fighting off the Afterlife
Not the one bleeding while the sirens call
Not the one bleeding while the sirens call
Not the one bleeding while the sirens call
I’m out here pleading that you’ll make it at all
Not the one bleeding while the sirens call
I’m out here pleading that you’ll make it at all
Clinging onto life
Choppers in the sky
Shutting out the light like I’m fighting off the Afterlife
Clinging onto life
Pulling out the knife
Twenty years gone and I’m fighting off the Afterlife
