Last Man Standing
Last Man Standing: Battling Shadows of Regret in the Neon-Lit Night
Lyrics
I've been walking this city again
I have been traversing this city once again
Clothes are getting soaked in the rain
My clothes are becoming wet in the rain
Got to keep my head down, keep my face well out of sight
I must stay low-profile, avoiding attention
There's a rental car parked in the street
There's a rented car parked in the street
An iron bar tucked up my sleeve
An iron bar is concealed up my sleeve
The sodium light is all that's keeping me honest tonight
The sodium light is the only thing keeping me honest tonight
The crooked and the straight live close or so they say
The dishonest and the honest live in close proximity, as they say
One to the other is a few hard knocks away
One group is not far from experiencing difficulties like the other
If I can't take it, I won't make it this time
If I cannot endure it, I will not survive this time
The bigger picture, The little crimes
Considering both the broader perspective and the minor offenses
Will I be the last man standing?
Questioning whether I will be the last person remaining
If I can't make it, I can't face that hope dies
If I cannot endure it, I cannot confront the death of hope
How am I gonna look when I look in your eyes?
Contemplating my appearance when I gaze into your eyes
Will I be the last man standing?
Questioning whether I will be the last person remaining
She knows I've been in trouble before
She is aware of my past troubles
This ain't my first brush with the law
This is not my first encounter with the law
I was hard and proud, didn't think I had nothing to lose
I was tough and arrogant, thinking I had nothing to lose
How quickly life can change will take your breath away
Life can change rapidly, taking your breath away
How high the price you set to see your heart betrayed?
The steep cost you pay to witness your heart being betrayed
And if I can't take it, I won't make it this time
If I cannot endure it, I will not survive this time
The bigger picture, The little crimes
Considering both the broader perspective and the minor offenses
Will I be the last man standing?
Questioning whether I will be the last person remaining
If I can't make it, I can't face that hope dies
If I cannot endure it, I cannot confront the death of hope
How am I gonna look when I look in your eyes?
Contemplating my appearance when I gaze into your eyes
Will I be the last man standing?
Questioning whether I will be the last person remaining
Under cover of darkness I break my promises
In the secrecy of darkness, I break my promises
Where bitter forces are brought to bear
Where intense pressures are applied
I'll be standing in the light of your love, I can be saved
I will stand in the light of your love, finding salvation
From the shadow of everything that's waiting there
Escaping the shadow of everything that awaits
And if I can't take it, I won't make it this time
If I cannot endure it, I will not survive this time
The bigger picture, The little crimes
Considering both the broader perspective and the minor offenses
Will I be the last man standing?
Questioning whether I will be the last person remaining
If I can't make it, I can't face that hope dies
If I cannot endure it, I cannot confront the death of hope
How am I gonna look when I look in your eyes?
Contemplating my appearance when I gaze into your eyes
Will I be the last man standing?
Questioning whether I will be the last person remaining
