I’ll Borrow Time
[Verse 1]
If you cut me from the sky
Could we make a pact to someday die?
And now my bones are hard and old
And the blood inside is cracked and cold
[Chorus]
And it's a hard ride
From here to the other side
The doubts creeping in our minds
Growing as we ride
[Verse 2]
Into the night we could stay right here
Stuck in these bodies and stuck with our fears
The crown I wear is made of bone
And you could twist me off my throne
[Pre-Chorus 1]
'Cause I am not a lady
That is not my king
I would scalp an adversary
Just to keep my wings
[Pre-Chorus 2]
We're not made for sitting still
Hunters have legs and legs can kill
[Chorus]
But it's a hard ride
From here to the other side
The dust creeping in our minds
Growing as we ride
Into the night
[Verse 3]
I'll borrow time
Do what we can to keep me blind
We'll cut our hair and close our eyes
Shielded by the fort and our disguise
In our disguise
[Pre-Chorus 2]
We're not made for sitting still
Hunters have legs and legs can kill
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But I am not a lady
That is not my king
I would scalp an adversary
Just to keep my wings
To keep my wings
[Chorus]
But it's a hard ride
From here to the other side
The dust creeping in our minds
Growing as we ride
Into the night
