Take you out kicking, screaming, and crying
Living, loving and dying
You promise, you promise, you promise
Now you're gone
As you kick and scream and cry
That's how you know you're alive
You live, you love, then you die
In just one try, you've gotten it all right
And if I try I'd fail many times
Going from one hundred percent down to nothing
What's left, how can I pass the time
Close your eyes, clear your mind
Open them, nothing's left this time
Take you out kicking, screaming, and crying
Living, loving and dying
You promise, you promise, you promise
Now you're gone
In just one try, you've gotten it all right
And if I try I'd fail many times
Going from one hundred percent down to nothing
What's left, how can I pass the time
Close your eyes
Take you out kicking, screaming, and crying
Living, loving and dying
You promise, you promise, you promise
Now you're gone
The skyline looks like shards of glass
Impacting themselves deep inside
The track marks of these trains scar the cityscape
And we can finally sleep tonight
And just like the storms make oaks take root
Destruction time will light your life
