lyrics

It's do or die
It's now or never
Sharpen up your sword and pull yourself together
There's more to life than killing time
Hanging from the gallows to our fates resigned

Just another lost boy's story
Foolish mind or heart of gold
Pour yourself a glass half empty
I refuse to give up hope

I'm down for something dangerous
Past the point of no return
So lock it and load
Baby, are you down for something dangerous?
The serpent of the sea will threaten to swallow us whole
I'd rather risk it all than never know

Don't be so quick to pick your poison
Disenchanted voices of a thousand boys and girls
Who took a sip of compromise
Now safe and soundly sinking to their own demise

Just another lost boy's story
Foolish mind or heart of gold
Pour yourself a glass half empty
I refuse to give up hope

I'm down for something dangerous
I'm down for something dangerous

I'm down for something dangerous
Past the point of no return
So lock it and load
Baby, are you down for something dangerous?
The serpent of the sea will threaten to swallow us whole
I'd rather risk it all than never know

Danger island
Other side of the sea
There is no going back
To who you used to be
Haunted shadows
You have no hold on me anymore
I'd rather die than watch my dreams all decompose
To lost, forgotten bones

Come pursue life with reckless abandon
And throw your overthinking overboard
Break the rules of inertia
What harm's it gonna do ya?
Discover the unknown
Down for something dangerous
