Struggling to focus on a line that I've forgotten
And I help it feel so useless while I'm staring at blank pages
I could be
so happy if I only
took the time
I could feel so
worthy
if I just let
this heart unwind
You were the
last man standing You took your bow as curtains drew
And when the last plane landed The fear
of death soon consumed the last one
I've overstayed my welcome I'll admit that I'm still learning
So I'll be on my way now I don't want to be a burden
I could feel so worthy
if I just let this heart unwind
You were the
last man standing
You took your bow as curtains drew
And when the last plane landed The fear of death,
it gripped your heart
And fooled you
You were the last man standing Nowhere to run
You're back against the wall
When you are
born of violence
The fear of death
is all you know
At the end of our days When the empire is slowly decayed
And the city is a long since forgotten In the rubble,
a lonely stage Where a woman is tied up in chains She sings
what's so good about freedom anyway Why rage against your core?
The audience riled and depraved Throwing stones as
they cheer her for war And the people are wild and
depraved And they bang on their chests as they roar
Through an ocean of terrible voices For fury to strangle the storm
She sings what's so good about mercy
anyway Why rage against your core?
And the world is as always,
it was Always and forevermore
