[Hook] This is my blood, these are my veins Do you see what runs through them? Don't you ever think I could lose it This is my blood, these are my veins [Verse 1] I want to trace my life in wet cement Or at least my footprints, so everyone can see This wholehearted misstep legacy We all know its too fast to dry My legs are getting tired and old And I'm ready to die, I'm ready to die [Hook 2] This is my blood, these are my veins Do you see what runs through them? Don't you ever (don't you ever) think I could lose it (Think I could lose this) this is my blood (This is my blood) these are my veins [Verse 2] Anthems of hope and misguided fears Is how I'll remember these past few years With bittersweet melodies and desperate dreams Our stories are amazing but we fall apart at our seams It seems despite all of my failures I am not afraid of these present times I will rise just like the phoenix And burn my name across city skies [Bridge] Take your lives, make your legends Pa** them on, pa** them on Open my eyes, tear my throat We carry on, we sing our song We carry on, we sing our song [Interlude] [Hook 2] This is my blood, these are my veins Do you see what runs through them? Don't you ever (don't you ever) think I could lose it (Think I could lose this) this is my blood (This is my blood) these are my veins [Outro] Take your lives, make your legends Pa** them on, pa** them on Open my eyes, tear my throat We carry on, we sing our song We carry on, we sing our song
