I, have lost
I've felt the strain
I, have wept,
I have felt the pain
Nights, so long,
And so strange
Life, felt like
Living in a cage!
So, alone!
So empty inside!
Fire, burned out!
Even the embers had died...!
At least, according to the voices in my head
But, you see...it's me that's not dead
In spite of all that they were planning,
It's the end...and I...
Am the last man standing
I am the last one!
Scorched on my skin and torched to my core!
Suffering for a lifetime!
Until I decided not to take it anymore!
Illuminated! By the fire that burns within...!
Forged and tempered...
Born to win
(I am the last one, I am...the last one)
(I am the last one, the last, last one)
The last man standing...
I, have hurt,
The ones who've hurt me
I, have screamed,
Until the words were deserting
Days, so long,
While I acted so brave
To! My life!
I was a slave...!
So, alone!
So empty inside!
Fire, burned out!
Even the embers had died...!
At least, according to the voices in my head
But, you see...it's me that's not dead
In spite of all that they were planning,
It's the end...and I...
Am the last man standing
I am the last one!
Scorched on my skin and torched to my core!
Suffering for a lifetime!
Until I decided not to take it anymore!
Illuminated! By the fire that burns within...!
Forged and tempered...
Born to win
(I am the last one, I am...the last one)
(I am the last one, the last, last one)
The last man standing...!
Burn! Burn! Burn away!
All! The thoughts! Of yesterday!
Cut! The cord! Sear it with flame!
Cast the noose aside and turn...!
Into a new day!
Don't be...so alone...
Never be...so empty inside...
Learn and remember who you are...
And the fire can never be denied!
I have been lost...
I have felt the pain...
I have been hurt...
But it's been me whose gained...
It's the end...and I...
I am the last one!
Scorched on my skin and torched to my core!
Suffering for a lifetime!
Until I decided not to take it anymore!
Illuminated! By the fire that burns within...!
Forged and tempered...!
Born to win! The last man standing!
I am the last one!
I am...! The last man standing!
I am the last one!
I...! Am the last man standing!
Burn! Burn away...! All the misery of yesterday...!
Cut the cord...! Sear it with flame...!
Be the last one!(The last one...)
Be the last man standing...

Sometimes I Wish
Sometimes, I wish I could forget.
Forget about how we would sit up in your bedroom and giggle in hushed voices,
Or forget how when you'd come over to my house we'd share secrets and wishes.
I wish I could forget how you'd tell me that I was beautiful, when really the beauty was always in you.
Sometimes, I wish I could forget.
Forget about all of our inside jokes, and how we spoke.
Or forget how I told you all my secrets and let you see everything in me.
I wish I could forget how much you knew.
Sometimes I wish I could forget.
Forget about how you'd always tell me that you wished you were better.
Or forget about how I always said t

Coming Back
You looked at me with sunset eyes
Teeming with an ocean’s depth
Waves were crashing down your cheeks
Tears you should have never wept
And I heard a sound I’ll not forget
The slamming front door as you left
In shock I waited as tragedy unfurled
Denial settled into the silence of my world
Without a glance or shallow sigh
You left me here with no goodbye
But in my heart there grew an ache
A pain that, most nights, keeps me awake
And now I finally realize
What I saw in those shining eyes
Not the sunset; the sunrise
So this was never a goodbye
No…
This was letting go.
And now I’m coming back.

The Pain
I watch the pain seep out my arm,
The tears and memories flow.
Despite how it looks,
It causes no harm,
It relieves my pain,
For a second I watch it all go.
I am sick of doing this to myself,
This is where I always turn.
I hear a voice tell me its okay,
Everytime I turn to the blade.
I now feel so numb,
the blood starts to flow,
There’s a minute of happiness,
but the scars are the only thing left to show.
I watch the pain seep out my arm,
The tears and memories flow.
Despite how it looks,
It causes no harm,
It relieves my pain,
For a second I watch it all go.

I have often said that victory in life, victory over what happens to us, hurts us, brings us to our knees, it doesn't always come from actually beating what it is that confronts us.
Many things, they can't be beaten, our will can't reduce them to nothing. Those things can only be overcome, outlasted.
Survived.
We must, literally, be the last man standing.
Open your mind to what you can do, to what you feel, to what you believe, and to the world around you, ILLUMINATE your soul, and you will BE the last man standing.
Never, ever, let the embers die out, keep the fire that is in you burning, always, no matter what is done to you.
Welcome, to the revolution.

"All the misery of yesterday" was amazing, dude. I could totally hear those words being sung. I can hear it all in my head, but I think those words specifically just scream out to me about the perfection that this song is. It's just one of those passages that are high reward. Highest.....
