Silver skies fade to black Chasing time you can’t get back Through the echoes of the years You’re running from your deepest fears The streetlights flicker, hearts collapse Every breath’s a fading trap You feel it creeping on the air But act like you’re not even there Hold your breath as the shadows grow Close your eyes, but you already know... Death is on your heels, baby Sooner or later, it's gonna find you Like a silent scream, it wraps around you The moment's here, the ending’s near Death is on your heels, baby No one escapes what’s meant to be, not you Street signs blur through shattered glass The future turns into the past You thought you'd rise above the flame But the fire whispers your name Dreams decay like autumn leaves Falling slow but you don’t grieve With every footstep, every mile You're wearing that bittersweet smile Hold your breath as the shadows grow Close your eyes, but you already know... Death is on your heels, baby Sooner or later, it's gonna find you Like a silent scream, it wraps around you The moment's here, the ending’s near Death is on your heels, baby No one escapes what’s meant to be, not you And when you see the stars fall down You’ll know you were always bound To this fate, to this thread Weaving through the things you said (Oh) Time waits for no one, not for long (Oh) Even as you sing your song Death is on your heels, baby Sooner or later, it's gonna find you Like a silent scream, it wraps around you The moment’s here, the ending’s near Death is on your heels, baby No one escapes what’s meant to be, not you (Sooner or later...) It’s gonna catch you (Sooner or later...) It’s always been true (Sooner or later...) It’s gonna catch you No matter what you say, no matter what you do
