The Last Letter
I ran out of chalk to draw another line
Another missin' mime, wasted all of that life
You know they are better than you, its true
You wont get out, alive you tried your time
As I stare at the cross
Mr. Kidnapper, tryin to board the school
You'll never get it.
(Chorus)
Forgot your name
They will burn your book
Who can you blame?
The lead pumpin crook
Mother earth they shook.
The power, the dead, it compels you more
I stretch that sore, open the bloody wound
Kill yourself please! Better for you & me
You wont get out, alive, its no surprise.
How much money will I have to owe you?
I'll pay you up front.
You'll never get it.
(Chorus)
==bridge==
Save my soul. Forgot yours. Pay that toll.
What could they do? The darkest things to you,
The snake dies, wind cries, paint the ceilin' twice
Look what they did, to you, the color blue
You're gonna die, underground alive
Whispering wind cries, green serpent dies, paint the ceilin' twice,
You can save my soul!
Save me, won't you? You can't push me through.
The otherside, I'm lost, can't find the burning floor
Save me, won't you? What are you to do?
Save me, wont you?! You can't push me through.
I ran out of chalk to draw another line
Another missin' mime, wasted all of that life
You know they are better than you, its true
You wont get out, alive you tried your time
As I stare at the cross
Mr. Kidnapper, tryin to board the school
You'll never get it.
(Chorus)
Forgot your name
They will burn your book
Who can you blame?
The lead pumpin crook
Mother earth they shook.
The power, the dead, it compels you more
I stretch that sore, open the bloody wound
Kill yourself please! Better for you & me
You wont get out, alive, its no surprise.
How much money will I have to owe you?
I'll pay you up front.
You'll never get it.
(Chorus)
==bridge==
Save my soul. Forgot yours. Pay that toll.
What could they do? The darkest things to you,
The snake dies, wind cries, paint the ceilin' twice
Look what they did, to you, the color blue
You're gonna die, underground alive
Whispering wind cries, green serpent dies, paint the ceilin' twice,
You can save my soul!
Save me, won't you? You can't push me through.
The otherside, I'm lost, can't find the burning floor
Save me, won't you? What are you to do?
Save me, wont you?! You can't push me through.
