Last Mile Lyrics

Knees tremble

Above the feeble feet

A mirage deceives

The eyes of the weak

I laugh as an oasis of hope dries with time

For every day is a punchline in this comedy called life

Pinholes for pupils

Lack the strength

To muster a single tear

What do I have left to fear?

Horns sing out from the firmament

Some will pass it off as just a myth

But I see the seven-headed tiger

Wake and sink its teeth

Bloodletting sloth and comfort

I know the cure for your black bile

Oligarchs who build back better

Fail to see that they're on their last mile

Get up

Condors encircle my weary world

As its white flag becomes unfurled

Chasms in the mind and the earth

Split in twain

Is it real now as your world drowns?

Is this the thing that made it click?

And I'll cheer it on loud as your Sodoms fall

Because you wretched lepers make me sick

Horns sing out from the firmament

Some will pass it off as just a myth

But I see the seven-headed tiger

Wake and sink its teeth

Bloodletting sloth and comfort

I know the cure for your black bile

Oligarchs who build back better

Fail to see that they're on their last mile

Glaze on the eyes

Stare at your palms

Drenched in the sweat

From holding on so long

Is it real now as your world drowns?

Is this the thing that made it click?

And I'll cheer it on loud as your Sodoms fall

Because you wretched lepers make me sick
