The Last Time

[Intro] The last time The last time The last time [Verse 1] When I woke up on that horrible, fateful day I had no idea the foundations would give way That something so heavy would fall and occur With me at the helm and me at the door Watching the life I had built disappear In the sudden, sharp silence of everything I fear. [Chorus] Withhold myself until the walls all broke open Can’t hold the madness, the words have been spoken Absurd thoughts are burrowing, tunnelling, root Shoving me down like a fallen, bruised fruit Into the dark where the logic turns thin And the outside world starts to crawl underneath my skin. [Verse 2] Tricks my brain played, a circus of ghosts Hosting the devil as the most unwelcome of hosts I thought he lived next door, watching through the wall While I was the one who was waiting to fall. So sad, that the chances were had and were lost To contain the wildfire, no matter the cost. [Chorus] Withhold myself until the walls all broke open Can’t hold the madness, the words have been spoken Absurd thoughts are burrowing, tunnelling, root Shoving me down like a fallen, bruised fruit Into the dark where the logic turns thin And the outside world starts to crawl underneath my skin. [Outro] The last time. The last time. The helm is empty. The door is open Lyrics by Exertus de Juno, Engineered in Suno by Exertus de Juno, Artwork by Exertus de Juno
