Last Of This Town

Old lights flicker, streets run dead
Dust on dust, words unsaid
Bones in this town stacked like stone
Every face here's carved from bone

Dreams rot slow, caught in wire
The air here's thick, it smothers fire

I'm last of this town, dead weight dropped
Cut the chain, let the anchor rot
Built on dust, born to stray
I'm a crack in the stone, breakin' away

Dreams rot slow, caught in wire
The air here's thick, it smothers fire
Built on dust, born to stray
I'm a crack in the stone, breakin' away

Seen too many rust to gray
Drinkin' years just to waste away
Eyes dull down, bones grow tight
Holdin' dreams they gave up to fight

"Stay close, call it home," they say
But this place chews souls day by day

I'm last of this town, dead weight dropped
Cut the chain, let the anchor rot
Built on dust, born to stray
I'm a crack in the stone, breakin' away

I see faces etched in lines
Names in dirt, just lost in time
I know love, I know roots run deep
But I'll die here slow if I stay asleep

Last of this town, road-dust in my veins
I'm cuttin' loose from rusted chains
Built on dirt, born for flight
I'm done with ghosts, I'm chasin' light

Dust on my boots, shadows left behind
I'm last breath outta this fading town
