Last Words

Staring out across the sepia seas
Through a cracked lens, you tore up the script
Leaving no way back, I’m still searching
Working through the days that came to pass
A kid stood staring through the looking glass
The final things we said that had meaning

That heart floating there
You blew from the sky
Leaving in your wake
Something left to die
As the words fade
The man disappears

I’m searching for the treasure
In the wreckage
Try to find the daylight
In the darkness
Making sense of
These last words I hear
Determined not to crash down
Memories fading
Healing all the scars
You’re still smiling
Even broken wings
Can one day fly again
Those are the last words you hear
Those are the last words you hear

A boy sees you leave
To the the factory gates
Burning rubber through the towns misty streets
A letter written, that was never read
Staring closely into those eyes
Searching for the truth, the soul inside
Needing answers for the damage done

Our last words tumbling through my head
The last time we let it draw breath
You squeezed the life from what we had left

I’m searching for the treasure
In the wreckage
Try to find the daylight
In the darkness
Making sense of
These last words I hear
Determined not to crash down
Pain is leaving
Healing all the scars
Daylight breaking
Even broken wings
Can one day fly again
Those are the last words you hear
Those are the last words you hear
Theres always a way back from here
Feeling like you’re broken beyond repair
It’s gonna take some time
But one day, yeah, one day you’ll get there

I’m searching for the treasure
In the wreckage
Trying to find the daylight
In the darkness
Making sense of
These last words I hear

Healing all the scars now
You’re still gonna smile now
You’re gonna rise up
You’re gonna make it through
Those are the last words you hear
