[Verse 1]

I am a man on the run

Running on two empty lungs

Running from my own mind

And things I hide inside

Some call it sweet temptation

[Verse 2]

Sometimes I don’t trust myself

Cameras on old empty shelves

I leave inside my brain

To make sure I stay sane

Good god, I think I need help

[Chorus]

I know what everybody knows

Die young or you can grow old

Until they bury you six below

Live long enough to tell your sons

Things you learned when you were young

So maybe I can have some self-control

[Verse 3]

But they say, “oh to be young"

Innocent of what’s to come

Oh, to be beautiful, each mistake excusable

Give into sweet temptation

[Verse 4]

So, tell me what do I do?

Am I just playing a fool?

That never learned to grow old

And still has no self-control

[Chorus]

I know what everybody knows

Die young or you can grow old

Until they bury you six below

Live long enough to tell your sons

Things you learned when you were young

So maybe I can have some self-control

Here we go

[Interlude]

[Outro]

I know

I know

Live long enough to tell your sons

Things you learned when you were young

So maybe I can have some self-control
