The Inevitability of Closing a Hat - Driver Friendly

Standing on the edge of the rest of my life

She says, «What are you so afraid of?

What are you so afraid of?»

I’ll drag my heels across this entire town

Let the blood run free, let it flood the streets

Tonight this city drowns, it’s going to drown

(I'm gonna see this path through)

I’ll walk the straight and narrow

('Til my legs are broken) Because there

Are just a few things in this world

I need to see with my own two eyes

To believe

Believing is not seeing

No to me, believing is breathing

(And knowing that each breath won’t) be your last

(Tomorrow) you wake up

And you decide with every glorious mistake

You can erase, you can erase your past

I am a ticking time bomb counting down

With the swelling of my lungs

With the bursting of my lungs

I am the roar of a thousand lions strong

And tonight I sing my song

Tonight it carries on, it carries on

(This all means nothing)

If I never make it back

(I'll retrace every footstep)

Because even if it takes a lifetime to make it back to you

I just need to see you with my own two eyes

To believe, to believe (that this is true)

Believing is not seeing

No to me, believing is breathing

(And knowing that each breath won’t) be your last

(Tomorrow) you wake up

And you decide with every glorious mistake

You can erase, you can erase your past

I’m an open book, dying to be read

With a broken spine and I’m showing thread

And my cover is worn and my pages are torn, torn, torn

And page after page, after page, after page

I’m somehow trying, trying to persuade

That somehow this ending will be okay

But it’s hard to believe everything you read

The cover’s worn and the pages torn

The cover’s worn and the pages torn

The cover’s worn and the pages torn

The cover’s worn…

Open me up and tear me apart

Open me up and tear me apart

Open me up and tear me apart

Open me up and open me, open me up

Believing is not seeing

No to me, believing is breathing

(And knowing that each breath won’t) be your last

(Tomorrow) you wake up

And you decide with every glorious mistake

You can erase, you can erase your past
