i've measured my days in shot gla**es and butchers' blocks, c**aine mirrors, lovers tears and broken clocks. Signed my name in blood and drank from the remains, justified and alibied and then I pa**ed 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 s**ers
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)
