The Last to Go

I found out the soul's the last to go

All the colors draining from the world I know

And all my careful calculations scattered on the wind

'Cause you told me I was special, I wanted to believe

Took your words, I felt the weight of gold

Surrendered to my faith in love so bold

You built for me a pedestal, a cage I could not see

Relinquished my ambitions so you could still feel free

Now who am I? These bones and skin

This old façade is paper thin

My armory depleted, my soldiers have deserted

I've given all I have to give

I've carved myself into the mold I thought that I could fit in

But I'm never gonna fit in

So, take it or leave it, I'm out, I'm done bleeding for you

I'm so done with trying to concede

Smoothing over ruptures, lies, and greed

Searching for my part in it, my place to take the blame

It's exhausting and demeaning, swallowing this shame

Now who am I? These bones and skin

This old façade is paper thin

My armory depleted, my soldiers have deserted

I've given all I have to give

Carved myself into the mold I thought that I could fit in

I'm never gonna fit in

So, take it or leave it, I'm out, I'm done bleeding for you
