on the other side

Accelerator to the floor
heading for the red light like it's a brick wall
before dying at the crossroads
to be reborn on the other side

I'll meet you in hell
find your soul amid the flames
because your darkness speaks to mine
in a voice only death can understand
and I don't want to be lonely
on the other side

There's heaven hiding in the dead of night
calling us out to dance beneath the stars
and sell our souls for the glory of this moment
before the light creeps back into our heads
exposing the lies we can't leave behind

We're all dying on the inside
dying before we were born
and now the accelerator's to the floor
heading for the red light like it's a brick wall
playing chicken with what's round the corner
'cause living doesn't make you feel alive
telling yourself, it'll be better on the other side
