My father told me These are the nights that never die One day my father he told me "Son, don't let it slip away" "When you get older Your wild heart will live for younger days Think of me if ever you're afraid" He said, "One day you'll leave this world

Get ready 'cause this is war Everything back and more And I'm not gonna let this go I'm ready to settle the score So what am I fighting for? I'm looking for a better way Some days it just gets so hard And I don't wanna slip away I can't take back all

Don't waste your time Don't let it slip away from you If it's the last thing that you do I hope the sun shows the way Don't crush my spirit today Reveal your precious stones So I can help myself I dig through bone and skull Imagine black emerald

If you still care, don't ever let me know Bury all your secrets in my skin Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins The air around me still feels like a cage And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again So if you love me, let me

Don't let it slip away Raise yo' drinkin' glass Here's to yesterday We're all gonna trip away Don't piss heaven off We got hell to pay Come full circle
