Contender - Last Of A Living Breed lyrics

Burdened by affection now, pointless so you sink In apathy, the epitome of all destroying me Poured into a scribbled note Broken bottle bound, bottlenecked and bottomed out Don't make me say it first this time and perpetrate this crime Handcuffed by our history and "fate" Trapped inside a longing gaze Dead-end to this maze Dead-ends I once loved, now grown to hate Never fair nor were we well, fatal fait accompli In empathy, the security of all that's saving me Set across the futile plains Sewing seeds of doubt, pushing up daisies through endless drought Mistook a streetlamp for the moon and you mistake me for a fool So I'll try honesty, hell, I'd try anything In desperation act, harsh words will seal the pact Won't lose another year Talked myself into it again So easy to lie to I'm sorry that you won't be sorry when I'm gone
