Last Resort Lifeline

[Verse 1]
You called it “loyalty”
Like it’s some casual line
A slogan on a T-shirt
Fading in the wash over time
But I’ve seen the nights
You don’t post
You just shake
Eyes on the ceiling
Counting every crack in the paint
[Chorus]
This is my last resort lifeline
Thrown out in the dark to you
Not just “I got you” in the sunshine
I mean when every good thing’s through
When all your colors bleed to gray
And every promise falls in two
I’m still here with you
And I always will be
[Verse 2]
You said
“You can go now”
Like you’re doing me a favor
Hands in your pockets
Like you’re bracing for a breaker
But I’m not a fair-weather friend
I’m the grip when you let go
If the world walks out on you
I’ll be standing in the doorway
“no”
[Chorus]
This is my last resort lifeline
Thrown out in the dark to you
Not just “I got you” in the sunshine
I mean when every good thing’s through
When all your colors bleed to gray
And every promise falls in two
I’m still here with you
And I always will be
[Bridge]
When every map burns
When every call rings out to silence
When you’re too tired
To even beg for guidance
I’ll say it soft
I’ll say it through
“I’m still here with you”
(I’m still here with you)
[Chorus]
This is my last resort lifeline
Blood-deep
Bone-true
Not just “I got you” in the headline
I mean when no one else comes through
When all your colors bleed to gray
And the past keeps breaking you
I’m still here with you
Yeah
I’m still here with you
And I always will be

Chorus explodes with wide distorted power chords, stacked harmonies, and a soaring top-line. Bridge strips to vocal and tremolo guitar, then full-band re-entry with crash-heavy drums for a cathartic finish., heartfelt, somber
