The Last Firstborn

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Oh man, I can't believe that you did what they said you did

And to this day I've still gotta say

That in my mind I question it

I wish I knew what you had meant

Before you went and left me wondering to

Just an echo of your voice

'Listen...'

Now I wait to take my turn to bleed

Like a kid playing with a razor blade

And wonder if I have the balls at all

Or am I gonna be afraid

Where are you? What do you think?

'Cos I'm not sure when

Knocking at death's door

If I will be welcome in

Or be left alone outside

I hear the sound of a heart

From the shadow in the dark

Waiting for the poison to hit its mark

(Listen, my son)

I see the darkness

Surround the shape on the ground

The killer straight up and a body face down

(Firstborn, last one)

I hear the din of the screams

Sorrow in streams

The smell of farewell and gasoline

(Listen, my son)

I see a heart set free

And my legacy

Hear a voice from a shadow

That is beckoning me

(Firstborn, last one)

I guess there comes a point when you think to yourself

"This isn't worth it, it isn't worth it"

And now I feel what you felt

And now I feel what you felt inside, brother

And now I feel what you felt

This isn't worth it, it isn't worth it

I hear the sound of a heart

From the shadow in the dark

Waiting for the poison to hit its mark

(Listen, my son)

I see the darkness

Surround the shape on the ground

The killer straight up and a body face down

(Firstborn, last one)

I hear the din of the screams

Sorrow in streams

The smell of farewell and gasoline

(Listen, my son)

I see a heart set free

And my legacy

Hear a voice from a shadow

That is beckoning me

(Firstborn, last one)

Listen

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't end this way

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't end this way

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't end this way

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't end this way

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't end this way

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't

I wish it didn't end this way

Live a life in hell through a mortal shell

Asphyxiating smell for a crime

Lifetime imagination locked in a cell

And to the other firstborn

I see the same scene that

Must play over in your mind

And now how much more

I'm sure it's fucked with your head

Just like it's fucked up mine

Listen

My son

Firstborn

Last one

The message you sent out to me

I can't change what's meant to be

The message you sent out to me

I can't change what's meant to be

(What am I supposed to do now?)

I hear the sound of a heart

From the shadow in the dark

Waiting for the poison to hit its mark

I see the darkness

Surround the shape on the ground

The killer straight up and a body face down

I hear the din of the screams

Sorrow in streams

The smell of farewell and gasoline

(Listen)

I see a heart set free

And my legacy

Hear a voice from a shadow

That is beckoning me

(My son)

I hear the sound of a heart

From the shadow in the dark

Waiting for the poison to hit its mark

(Listen, my son)

I see the darkness

Surround the shape on the ground

The killer straight up and a body face down

(Firstborn, last one)

I hear the din of the screams

Sorrow in streams

The smell of farewell and gasoline

(Listen, my son)

I see a heart set free

And my legacy

Hear a voice from a shadow

That is beckoning me

(Firstborn, last one)

(Firstborn)

You are the last one

(Firstborn)
