[Verse 1]
Hold on tight, we're leaving at midnight
And if we don't leave now, we're not getting out alive
Feel the air expand and retract, the future lasts forever
Let the crowd sink to the ground, nothing left to hold you back
[Chorus]
Dead eyes, life in your hands now
And if you see headlights, man, you better run for cover
Hands tied, throw the old plan out
Because I need to leave this place now more than ever
I can see it now
[Verse 2]
Jesus Christ, I see the city lights
Crashed through the pearly gates and opened up my eyes
Feel the air expand and retract, make your boat to drown in
Hear the sound of touching the ground, there's nothing here to hold you back
[Chorus]
Dead eyes, life in your hands now
And if you see headlights, man, you better run for cover
Hands tied, throw the old plan out
Because I need to leave this place now more than ever
I— I can see it now
