The Last One

Hang on your words The people sing their last praise The winter takes their last breath as they fall The seasons need to change To create a brand new day The people sing their last praise The winter takes their last breath We're just skin and bones We are, we are Scratching the surface of all that we think we know They will burn it all down, they will slaughter them all I can't look the other way, I can't look the other way They will burn it all down, they will bury them all I can't look the other way, I can't look the other way Precious price to pay Pound of flesh to take Breed the hate that leads you They will burn it all down, they will slaughter them all I can't look the other way, I can't look the other way They will burn it all down, they will bury them all I can't look the other way, I can't look the other way In the sun that we reclaim End this, end us all In the sun that we reclaim

Black smoke that we're breathing Worlds of dust between the seas Digging for the meaning That can satisfy your greed All that we are is dragging us across the line Parasite cowards Sell the world beneath our feet Lifetime of deceiving Justified by gold and hate All that we are is dragging us across the line We cover the scars that resonate within your lies This place isn't what we see, it feeds off serenity Voices all in freefall This place isn't what we see, a moment of clarity A new life, a new call Our lives for prosperity Currency to twist and break reality We'll fight your hypocrisy Until there's no breath in me

Hands to the sky while the air speaks my name All the sense to wonder why, but no soul to do the same Crawl inside, disconnect, let sensation fade away An endless night to keep us safe Shield our eyes and minds from the mess that we've made How long do we all pretend that this is fine? We've come too far to be fed another empty line Apathetic lives while we scream beneath the skin All the words to make it right, but no voice to carry them How long do we all pretend that this is fine? We've come too far to be fed another empty line Everything you are will fade in time Crawl inside, disconnect, let the sensation fade away Crawl inside, disconnect, let the sensation fade away Fade away How long do we all pretend that this is fine? We've come to far to be fed another empty line Everything you are will fade in time

Help me to see what we are I can feel our time has come We've been distracted by our own lies But I'm ready for new life But how could you have found us? And how can we escape? Are you here, are you? We're standing face to face The only purpose you've ever known is Reaching for your hand Are you here? Are you? Cause we wait just the same for the end to come What did you think that you'd find? Could we save each others kind? You're just as lost as we are, my friend Now you're stranded with no way out We're not ready for new life, no Are you there? Are you? Cause we wait just the same for the end to come

Lost inside of mind Thoughts that shape me, weigh me to the ground And all of this is just a trap I've built myself Every single breath we take is sickening Time that eats away into another night But all of this is just trap we've built ourselves Nobody's holding the door for us To rediscover the world in us After all this, knowing the walls are closing in Always waiting, hoping for the best And after all this, there's still a way to feed your light You've gotta know you're not alone Break free from you tether This can't wait forever Why are you waiting for someone else? There's nothing left but to face yourself Break free from you tether This can't wait forever Nobody's holding the door for us

Finding yourself in the dark, hold your silent heart Tracing back to the start, it seems so clear Opening up the skies, you shed the weight Everything here is so quiet and still You've known me all along You've known me all along Patiently, hear the voices inside Enemy, waiting all this time Underneath, we're nothing but this Memory You are

Sensory waves in tune With this overwhelming feeling we despise Permeates through the skin Numb the sense and quiet all the questions why, why? Somebody wake me up from this daydream Run in place Until the life is all but drained from my veins A crack in the sequence, no reprise Living on borrowed time I'll stay 'till it's over, right by your side We're living their stories in disguise We see no reflections in our dream lives (Somebody wake me up from this daydream Run in place) Until the life is all but drained from my veins A crack in the sequence, no reprise We see no reflections in our dream lives

Come down, make it the only thing we live by And keep yours head above the clouds So that you won't know, you won't show When we come home, we'll come alone All we need now are the roots were set alight Look down, can you remember what we started? It's nothing but a memory that stains And destroys all we made And all that we loved in you Whenever I have failed I never thought that I'd be standing here In the middle of the end Now we've come home, we're not alone All we needed were the roots that we set alight All that we've been through When we come home, we'll come alone All we needed were the roots that we set alight

Lead the way, the way you want to make me go Feel estranged from all the promises you've made And you take the place I know, take it all Shade the place I love, fade it all grey And you'll only see it when you close your eyes Standing there, standing bare But you want more than I have left to give, so I'm depleted now Creed defamed for everything that has been done (I don't believe it, I can't erase it!) Means in place, forgiving all the things you've done End you Make mistakes and run, take it all (Take the place!) Take the place you love, take it away You'll only see it when you close your eyes Standing there, standing bare But you want more than there is left to give, so I'm depleted now

The hopelessness we own, it pulls us apart We've found ourselves entwined by our tangled hearts It feeds to overthrow, we're out of control Signalling the fall of all that we've known Oh, I stumbled, I don't know why I tried You only grew when seeing through the mind you'd overgrown Oh, I don't know what this is But it's seeping through the hope that's left in me War within our minds while we're silent without (Staring holes into the walls) We'll drag us underneath all out wasted time (While we're trying to give in) I can't remember why the hell I started the search (Who could have know we'd get this low) But everything I've found reminds me why this hurts You've waited too long now it's over All the mistakes will follow you We've searched for answer But only found an empty truth You'll never know what could have been One last sign; after all this time You've missed your chance With hope I've never known, I'm ready to start We've finally let go of our tangled hearts
