Final Chapter (Late Shift)

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain streaks the window pane
Driving me half-insane
Flickering neon sign
I’m doing just fine
Knuckles white on my mug
Waiting for a little tug
Of the ghost you left behind
Still stuck inside my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the bell rings out loud
Cutting through the quiet cloud
You’re standing in the door
I can’t take it anymore
[Chorus]
So leave the keys and go
I’ve seen this tragic show
The poetry is torn and dead
Get out of my tired head
I’m closing up the store
Don’t come back no more
No more!
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, you gotta go
Yeah, you gotta go
[Verse]
I remember the tea you brought
And the battles that we fought
Little gifts to keep me small
Waiting for the sudden fall
Crumpled spines on the floor
I don’t want it anymore
Every word was a clever trap
Falling right into your lap
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t look at me that way
I have nothing left to say
The shadows on the wall
Are watching you crawl
[Chorus]
So leave the keys and go
I’ve seen this tragic show
The poetry is torn and dead
Get out of my tired head
I’m closing up the store
Don’t come back no more
No more!
[Bridge]
Scream it till my lungs give out
That’s what this is all about
I am not a broken page
I am more than just this cage
TEAR IT DOWN!
BURN IT ALL!
WATCH ME STAND!
WATCH YOU FALL!
[Verse]
You think you know my heart
But you just tore it apart
Now the ink is black and thick
Your games make me sick
Get out of the light
Into the rainy night
[Chorus]
So leave the keys and go
I’ve seen this tragic show
The poetry is torn and dead
Get out of my tired head
I’m closing up the store
Don’t come back no more
No more!
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, you gotta go
Yeah, you gotta go
[Outro]
