So this is what it's like to be human And I should know A second never felt so long I tried to put the pieces in their place Not a man or god But somewhere in between The body's a machine It takes a toll too high to see another life Flash before your eyes The highway won't just stop itself If you're alive There's no more time to think Of the might-have-beens As the old ship sinks A new horizon waits But not today I try to pull myself together I'm just used to seeing the chest rise and fall Point taken, man, just breathe again Hitting the brakes so hard At the sight of blood and steel It tends to make things real It takes a toll too high to see another life Flash before your eyes The highway won't just stop itself If you're alive There's no more time to think Of the might-have-beens As the old ship sinks A new horizon waits They told me I'd see angels In their place flashing lights I'm seeing my mirror image in pieces No sound, but can you hear me? I'm screaming out my lungs I don't believe this I hope you hear this ♪ It takes a toll too high to see another life Flash before your eyes The highway won't just stop itself If you're alive There's no more time to think Of the might-have-beens As the old ship sinks We have mountains to climb This is my Everest
