The Last One Standing

I've measured my days in shot glasses and butchers' blocks, cocaine mirrors, lovers tears and broken clocks. Signed my name in blood and drank from the remains, justified and alibied and then I passed 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 suckers
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)
