[Verse 1]
You have bones that have to break
So stay drunk for the weekend
Peace of mind, on borrowed time
So forget what you're thinking
Temporary fiction‚ can't control your diction
Speak slow
Told me that you see her‚ told you that's the reaper
But you know
[Refrain]
Where can you run?
Where can you hide?
[Verse 2]
You have guilt for your mistakes
So stay drunk 'til the year ends
Hallucinate‚ you see her face
And praise her like a godsend
Dopamine deficient, crave her like an addiction
Let go
Heaven on the weekend, diving off the deep end
Breathe slow
[Chorus]
Where can you run
When the air gets thinner every step you take?
Where can you hide
When death is coming closer?
And all at once you will find
This is what it takes to be alive
[Verse 3]
You have loved and you have lost
So stay drunk if it hurts less
Prescription-fed‚ to fix your head
But nothing can repair it
Father, does it kill you to see what we were put through
By her?
Bottom of the deep end, covered in a cold sweat
Burn slow
[Chorus]
Where can you run
When the air gets thinner every step you take?
Where can you hide
When death is coming closer?
And all at once you will find
This is what it takes to be alive (This is what it takes)
[Bridge]
Where can you run
When the air gets thinner? (Air gets thinner?)
Where can you hide
When you're drunk and bitter? (Drunk and bitter?)
And all at once you will find
This is what it takes to be alive
[Outro]
This is what it takes
Where can you run? (Air gets thinner‚ air gets thinner every step you take)
(Air gets thinner, air gets thinner, air gets thinner every step you take)
