lyrics

Can't get caught sleeping
Long as I'm breathing
Time is a thief and it keeps robbing me blind
All of this scheming
On what I believe in
No wasted evenings
I got moves on my mind

I don't wanna die
In the place I was born
There's a price on my head
One that I can't ignore
Tick tick tick I hear the death
Of every second that's left
Killing the moments just for sport

So say my demons
I'm still young and fiending
Hungry for meat and I've got plenty of time
But these years of dreaming
Staring at ceilings
I get the feeling that it's bleeding me dry

I don't wanna die
In the place I was born
There's a price on my head
One that I can't ignore
Tick tick tick I hear the death
Of every second that's left
Killing the moments just for sport

I'm in a race without an enemy
I've got to face it all eventually

I don't wanna die
In the place I was born
There's a price on my head
One that I can't ignore
Tick tick tick I hear the death
Of every second that's left
Killing the moments just for sport
