One foot in the ground One foot in the grave Don't you dare make a sound, shh Hear you from a mile away Run from the town All you need is your name And the sweat on your brow And the blood running through your veins Don't think twice You'll be dead in a second Turn your eyes From your hands to the heavens Kill your pride Turn your fear to a weapon And don't you forget it Oh, oh-oh, don't you let 'em take control And don't you let 'em break your soul It's not the devil at your door It's just your shadow on your floor Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh One eye on the clock One eye on the mirror Take a step through your thoughts Is it getting clearer?
