The Last One Standing

I've measured my days in shot glasses and butchers' blocks, cocaine mirrors, lovers tears and broken clocks. Signed my name in blood and drank from the remains, justified and alibied and then I passed the blame

I built my own nation

Looked in the mirror

I couldn't be touched

Now there's nobody here

If love is for suckers

And trust is for fools

I hid from the others

And made my own rules

Just a momento, a souvenir

And a photo to know that you were here

All alone under the lights

I'm the last one standing

I set examples by saying nothing and watched the others fall, dusted myself off and stood against the wall, i pointed to the fools who tried to make some sense, tore apart my enemies in the name of self-defense

I survived

With slightly less

Slouched to perfection

Taller than the rest

Led by example

With nothing at all

I led from the waist up

And watched the others fall (ch)
