- - - LAST MAN STANDING - - -

Too many times I�ve taken the blame
All too many times I�ve worn the shame
Like a shroud in sad moldering crypts
But in reality, I don�t give a shit

I refuse to submit to your will
Stand in the storm when phantoms are still
In the howling winds against the grey
Skies and I stand one foot from the grave

But fuck it

I cannot stand your face
Speaking tongues of disgrace
The last man standing
Will not be you

Hallowed within your grey matter void
Don�t fuck with me, I am not some toy
And as clueless as you seem to be
You�ll lay, staring blankly, back at me

Ignorance is profound in your eyes
�What have I done that, so, I must die?�
I hate everything but your last breath
As sweet to me as impending death

So, fuck you

I cannot stand your face
Speaking tongues of disgrace
The last man standing
Will not be you

I�ll paint this masterpiece
On a bloody canvas
I have nothing to lose
To pay tribute to you
Violence is the key
To calm your voice for me
Hammer your face shut
But who gives a fuck
So what?

I cannot stand your face
Speaking tongues of disgrace
The last man standing
Will not be you

So brutal, yet, full of realism. . .I can relate; your angst of tributes are always a delight to read, my King of Darkness. . .for they are so far and few between. . .love to you. .. yours, Devil~lyn.
