Bishops Knife Trick Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm pedal to the metal make no mistake
This is my pity party, pity party
And I'm living out of time, eternal heatstroke
Spiritual revolt from the waist down
From the waist down
I'm just a full tank away from freedom
Spitfire

[Chorus]
These are the last blues we're ever gonna have
Let's see how deep we get
The glow of the cities below lead us back
To the places that we never should have left
The last blues we're ever gonna have
Let's see how deep we'll get
The glow of the cities below lead us back
To the places that we never should have left

[Post-Chorus]
The last, the last, the last
The last, the last, the last
The last, the last, the last
The last, the last, the last

[Verse 2]
I got a feeling inside that I can't domesticate
It doesn't wanna live in a cage
A feeling that I can't housebreak
And I'm yours
'Til the earth starts to crumble and the heavens roll away
I'm struggling to exist with you and without you, yeah
I'm just a full tank away from freedom
Spitfire

[Chorus]
These are the last blues we're ever gonna have
Let's see how deep we get
The glow of the cities below lead us back
To the places that we never should have left
The last blues we're ever gonna have
Let's see how deep we'll get
The glow of the cities below lead us back
To the places that we never should have left

[Post-Chorus]
The last, the last, the last
The last, the last, the last
The last, the last, the last
The last, the last, the last

[Verse 3]
I'm sifting through the sand, sand, sand
Looking through pieces of broken hourglass
Trying to get it all back
Put it back together
As if the time had never passed
I know I should walk away, know I should walk away
But I just want to let you break my brain
And I can't seem to get a grip
No matter how I live with it

[Chorus]
These are the last blues, yeah
The glow of the cities below lead us back
To the places that we never should have left
The last blues we're ever gonna have
Let's see how deep we'll get
The glow of the cities below lead us back
To the places that we never should have left

[Post-Chorus]
The last, the last, the last
The last, the last, the last
The last, the last, the last
The last, the last, the last

ill just ignore the obvious hints at 2005 and dive into the meaning of this

i think overall its someone still trying to hold onto a past relationship. trying to reconcile with the past. you keep trying to find something from it to hold onto, but while its keeping you alive, its also driving you crazy then youre slowly coming to terms, both you and the person finding closure with what happened, but you just try and make one last ditch effort to make things better, but you know that you cant go back to what you both once had.
