[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
