You've got to make your escape
While you can
Take the pieces of the life you live

And force them deep underground
You've got to roll with the punches
Take all the chances

That life throws your way
Cause if we don't you know
This life will be the death of us

This life will be the death of us

This life will be the death of us

This life will be the death of us
This life will be the death of us
This life will be the death of us


When there's nothing good to stay for
Then why are we still here

We work our fingers red raw
To disappear


Once the door is opened
It's time to leave
Time to take a step outside

And find what could have been
You don't want to grow old
Take a look at your life

Realize that it's nothing
That you'd hoped
Every day was the same

No one remembers your name
Now you're left wondering all alone


When there's nothing good to stay for
Then why are we still here
We work our fingers red raw

To disappear

But there's still so much to play for

Before it's time to leave
We keep one foot in the door
So we can disappear


Into the night
Into the life that we want to live

This could mean everything
And we won't let it pass us by
We might only get one chance


This is the time
This is the life that we want to live

This might just be nothing
We won't know until we
Try this for real

See how it feels
If we don't move now
We never will


This life
This life

This life
Will be the death of us
This life

Will be the death of us
This life
Will be the death of us

This life
Will be the death of us
This life

Will be the death of us
This life
Will be the death of us

This life
Will be the death of us
This life

Will be the death of us
