Switchblade Lyrics - Timeflies

1 The road is endless and he walks alone

2 In his own mind he is walkin' home

3 But what he runs from are demons that will tag along

4 And drag down at the duster of a vagabond

5 He keeps movin' now only to slow the wrath

6 Carryin' a switch blade and a photograph

7 Longin' for a past, still he tries to start anew

8 And he hasn’t giving up yet but he’s starting to

9 See, he’s driven every one of his dream cars down memory lane

10 Spent nights out in the white house and of course joy rides on every plane

11 Thinks he’s keepin' it sane, cooled by the rain, takin' his aim, fueled by the pain

12 Of dreamin' again and again of a life he’ll never get to regain

13 Walkin' in a world he’s never known but he always knew

14 That in these streets he stands alone, never still he passes through

15 On the move, leavin' everywhere he goes without a trace

16 Mindful of manufactured memories that have been erased

17 I run, but I fall

18 Can anyone, anyone at all

19 See what I see now

20 As the world ends tonight

21 How long, can I go

22 And will I last, even when I know

23 That there’s no way out

24 As the world ends tonight

25 Hate in his heavy heart, wind on his weathered face

26 Struggles he hopes will him find a better place

27 Rememberin' everything he had and what it was

28 Wishin' he could lose this memory wonderin' what it does

29 This life has him questioning his will to fight

30 But being left for dead doesn’t go and make it right

31 Cause baron city blocks will make him tare his eyes out

32 Starved for the answers he falls down and cries out

33 Why me, me of all people

34 The same Adam you built before me I am just the sequel

35 I am just an equal of any man, every man

36 That walked this earth before me please tell me that you give a damn

37 Give me something I can hold, show me something I can see

38 Loneliness is gettin' cold, I need you here in front of me

39 Tell me to my face and rid me of the fear

40 Why me? Why am I the last one here?

41 I run, but I fall

42 Can anyone, anyone at all

43 See what I see now

44 As the world ends tonight

45 How long, can I go

46 And will I last, even when I know

47 That there’s no way out

48 As the world ends tonight

49 And as he looks around the cars are passing by

50 And faces line the streets, staring as he hides

51 Spending all this time alone and trapped within

52 The world had stayed the same, the one who’d left was him

53 I run, but I fall

54 Can anyone, anyone at all

55 See what I see now

56 As the world ends tonight

57 How long, can I go

58 And will I last, even when I know

59 That there’s no way out

60 As the world ends tonight
