Switchblade

The road is endless and he walks alone
 In his own mind he is walkin' home
 But what he runs from are demons that will tag along
 And drag down at the duster of a vagabond
 He keeps movin' now only to slow the wrath
 Carryin' a switch blade and a photograph
 Longin' for a past, still he tries to start anew
 And he hasn't giving up yet but he's starting to
 See, he's driven every one of his dream cars down memory lane
 Spent nights out in the white house and of course joy rides on every plane
 Thinks he's keepin' it sane, cooled by the rain, takin' his aim, fueled by the pain
 Of dreamin' again and again of a life he'll never get to regain
 Walkin' in a world he's never known but he always knew
 That in these streets he stands alone, never still he passes through
 On the move, leavin' everywhere he goes without a trace
 Mindful of manufactured memories that have been erased
 I run, but I fall
 Can anyone, anyone at all
 See what I see now
 As the world ends tonight
 How long, can I go
 And will I last, even when I know
 That there's no way out
 As the world ends tonight
 ♪
 Hate in his heavy heart, wind on his weathered face
 Struggles he hopes will help find him a better place
 Rememberin' everything he had and what it was
 Wishin' he could lose this memory wonderin' what it does
 This life has him questioning his will to fight
 But being left for dead doesn't go and make it right
 Cause baron city blocks will make him tear his eyes out
 Starved for the answers he falls down and cries out
 Why me, me of all people
 The same Adam you built before me I am just the sequel
 I am just an equal of any man, every man
 That walked this earth before me please tell me that you give a damn
 Give me something I can hold, show me something I can see
 Loneliness is gettin' cold, I need you here in front of me
 Tell me to my face and rid me of the fear
 Why me? Why am I the last one here?
 I run, but I fall
 Can anyone, anyone at all
 See what I see now
 As the world ends tonight
 How long, can I go
 And will I last, even when I know
 That there's no way out
 As the world ends tonight
 ♪
 And as he looks around the cars are passing by
 And faces line the streets, staring as he hides
 Spending all this time alone and trapped within
 The world had stayed the same, the one who'd left was him, yeah
 See what I see now
 I run
 I run
 As the world ends tonight
 I run
 I run
 I run
 As the world ends tonight
 I run
 I run
 Carryin' a switch blade and a photograph
 How long, can I go
 And will I last, even when I know
 That there's no way out
 As the world ends tonight
