Lyrics

Verse 1
You know the clock is ticking
From the cradle to the grave
Searching for the fire inside
The spark to light the flame

I can't fake it
Gonna take my time

Verse 2
Writhing in the dust now and
Picking through the bones
Wear your scars with pride now or
You're dead before your time

Can't fake it
Need to make it mine

Bridge
You can't shake me
I can take it
You won't break me
Don't waste your time

Chorus
Tell me where we're going
Before we hit the road
A cool wind is blowing
But the temperature still grows
What's this game you're playing
Baby, I still play for keeps
Ain't no use in praying
I guess we're just in way too deep

Verse 3
The bough is gonna break now as
We rise up from the flames
Creeping from the darkness
As we try to stake our claim

Can't fake it
Gonna make it mine

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

Solo

Repeat Bridge

End Chorus
I must've been a young boy
When I first tasted the blues
I never saw it coming so I never got to choose
Ain't no more resistance 'cause you know we're gonna lose
Ain't no use in praying
I guess we're just yesterdays news

We're going down
