I Have Better Things I Want To Do Tonight Than Die

[Hook]
This is my blood, these are my veins
Do you see what runs through them?
Don't you ever think I could lose it
This is my blood, these are my veins

[Verse 1]
I want to trace my life in wet cement
Or at least my footprints, so everyone can see
This wholehearted misstep legacy
We all know its too fast to dry
My legs are getting tired and old
And I'm ready to die, I'm ready to die

[Hook 2]
This is my blood, these are my veins
Do you see what runs through them?
Don't you ever (don't you ever) think I could lose it
(Think I could lose this) this is my blood
(This is my blood) these are my veins

[Verse 2]
Anthems of hope and misguided fears
Is how I'll remember these past few years
With bittersweet melodies and desperate dreams
Our stories are amazing but we fall apart at our seams
It seems despite all of my failures
I am not afraid of these present times
I will rise just like the phoenix
And burn my name across city skies

[Bridge]
Take your lives, make your legends
Pass them on, pass them on
Open my eyes, tear my throat
We carry on, we sing our song
We carry on, we sing our song

[Interlude]

[Hook 2]
This is my blood, these are my veins
Do you see what runs through them?
Don't you ever (don't you ever) think I could lose it
(Think I could lose this) this is my blood
(This is my blood) these are my veins

[Outro]
Take your lives, make your legends
Pass them on, pass them on
Open my eyes, tear my throat
We carry on, we sing our song
We carry on, we sing our song
