INTRO The final chapter’s calling I can feel it in my bones Time is running out now And I’m still out here alone I’m not done with this world I’ve still got words to say But the air keeps getting thinner And the light keeps slipping away Verse1 I was the man they called on When the wheels came off the line I carried half their burdens Never asked for what was mine Now I’m sitting in the silence While these walls are closing in They wrote the final sentence Before the fight could begin I still know who I was I know what’s underneath But there’s a war inside this body Stealing every breath from me They say willing is one thing But able’s another fight When your heart still wants to run But your body won’t hold tight Time is running out But I ain’t finished yet I’m still standing in the ashes Of a life they won’t forget Come and get me if you see me Don’t just leave me in the dark I’m a fire without oxygen A dying, beating heart No light, no warmth No shelter from the cold You wrote me off too early But my story’s still untold Time is running out But I’m still here somehow A blood clot brought a soldier Down onto his knees Now I’m fighting for the simple things That once came naturally One hour every day I play the part they want to see Then I watch the curtain falling And there’s nothing left of me A cost item on a paper A name beneath a line No more treatment, no more answers Just another waste of time I’m too good to throw away Too worn out to be new And the world keeps right on turning Like it never even knew I don’t need another number I don’t need another file I need someone who can see me And stay with me a while Don’t confuse my silence With a man who’s lost his fight There’s a whole damn life still burning Somewhere deep behind my eyes Time is running out But I ain’t finished yet I’m still standing in the ashes Of a life they won’t forget Come and get me if you see me Don’t just leave me in the dark I’m a fire without oxygen A dying, beating heart No light, no warmth No shelter from the cold You wrote me off too early But my story’s still untold Time is running out But I’m still here somehow I look at Sam. She knows somehow She sees the man beneath it all It doesn’t matter where we go She stays beside me through it all No words are needed. She understands She follows every step I can If I move slowly, she walks slow too There’s nowhere else she’d rather be than here with me We’ll hit the road again someday With Sam beside me all the way No questions asked. No need to know As long as we’re together, she’s ready to go PRE-CHORUS 3 She doesn’t care about the papers She doesn’t care what people say She doesn’t see a broken soldier She just sees her friend today And if the road gets hard to travel She’ll match every step I take No promises. No grand salvation Just a love that doesn’t break Music falls almost completely silent They say every flame must flicker They say every man must fall But nobody asks the burning man If he’s ready for it all I’m not asking for a miracle I’m not asking to be saved Just don’t call me yesterday’s news While I’m breathing through this pain I’ve been broken I’ve been battered I’ve been left out in the rain But don’t you dare write the end While I can still remember my name Deep spoken vocal. Slowly building drums and guitars. Here I go again… Not because I want to Not because I’m unafraid But this road is all I know And I’ve walked it all these days I look beside me And there she stands Sam, my girl Still holding on I’m still here… Can you hear me? I’m still here! Full band. Raw electric guitars. Powerful backing choir. Time is running out But I ain’t finished yet You can write me off on paper But you haven’t won this bet Come and get me if you hear me I won’t disappear without a sound I’m more than what is left of me I’m more than broken down No fire, no light Still I reach into the night If there’s one spark left inside me I will hold it with my life Time is running out Hear the words I cannot shout I’m still breathing I’m still bleeding I’m still standing here somehow I’m not finished yet! Only acoustic guitar. Final lines almost whispered. The final chapter’s calling… But the book is still in my hands I’m not asking for forever Just a place where I can stand And Sam is waiting by my side With those eyes that see right through She doesn’t need me to be stronger She just needs me to be me I’m still here… She’s still here… No words to say No need to run As long as we’re together We’re not done I’m still here. And we’re going down that road again.
