The Contender Series – 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
