(V1)
I set the stars to be bold and scarce
I've turned the stones into grains of sand
Then I snuffed it out, to prove that I could
Then I made a sun, to undo everything I had done
(Chor)
The race against the day
is the darkest thing that I've ever made
(V2)
Pay your dues, in a frozen sea
Or spend another night cold and hungry
Race around the streets with places to be
Live it now and live it loud, this is it for you and me
(Chor)
But the race against the day
Is the brightest thing that I've ever made
(Bridge)
I am one tired soul
though my bones were bound to break
The race against the day, is the darkest thing I've ever made
