On the Hard Nights

[Verse 1]
Give me a taste of oxygen
I'm buried, wounded to the core
I cry out to silence until then
The suction drags me down for more
And it seems it will go 'til I stop the show
But that my dear's my benchmark
'Cause the show can go on
If I make it to dawn
As a lonely flare in the dark

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Relentless, your scars open up wide
They know how to punch into your shell
They lunge for your blood like a vampire
You know those fangs ever so well
Your soul is a bird, too heavy for words
And yet it yearns for miles
You just have to get through
The night in front of you
Try to stay a little while

[Chorus]
It's toughest to beat caverns
Devoid of the morning daybreaks
You're clawin' and God, it hurts
As your stomach does backflips and quakes
The strain is unbearable
When every chip is a chilling climb
But it's a little less terrible
Little more fareable, little more dareable
One cliff at a time
One cliff at a time
One cliff at a time
One cliff at a time

[Bridge]
And I love you, love you, love you
But I'm so alone
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
(How long can I be here like this?)
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
You're a captain with crew
And too much to lose
Among every storm and spark
Burn as bright as you can
You're taking a stand
For the flares fighting in the dark
Tell me, why did you start?
Did a glow catch your heart?
There's another each mile
I never saw it coming
When I heard her humming
Try to stay a little while

[Chorus]
It's toughest to beat caverns
Devoid of the morning daybreaks
You're clawin' and God it hurts
As your stomach does backflips and quakes
The strain is unbearable
When every chip is a chilling climb
But it's a little less terrible
Little more fareable, little more dareable
It's a little less terrible
Little more fareable, little more dareable
One cliff at a time
One cliff at a time
One cliff at a time
One cliff at a time
One cliff at a time
