as if racing towards a finishing line
daring to leave just the ashes behind
like a fire greedy to burn the time
120 beats per minute my heart beats at

ready to jump from a cliff so high
not caring whether i live or if i die
giving me away whenever i tell a lie
120 beats per minute my heart beats at
