[Verse 1]
Steel door slam
My name on their breath
Chain on my wrist
Like a handshake with death
Clock on the wall
Won’t stop, just grins
Priest in the hall
Counting my sins
Cold floor, bare feet
Walking that line
Every echo I meet
Sounds like “you’re out of time”
Warden reading
Paper shaking slow
I sign that line
With the last of my hope
[Chorus]
If this is my last walk, watch me go
Head high to the gallows, let ‘em know
You can take my pulse, but not my soul
I already let it go, let it go
If this is my last night in these clothes
I’ll burn my fear in a breath of smoke
You can close my eyes when the sky turns gold
But you’ll never touch the part I hold
[Verse 2]
Click-clack
Boots on stone
Every step loud like a ringin’ phone
Voices in the crowd, blood in the tone
(I ain’t goin’ out alone)
Heart like a war drum, face like stone
Bite on the rage that I carved in bone
Guards on the side try to guide my soul
I don’t need light, I can find that road
Quick breath
Tight rope
Neck kiss linen, black-hood hope
Flash all the sins I wrote in smoke
Tattooed arms and a burnt-out oath
Mama in the front row, eyes like glass
Judge in the back tryna hide his past
If this is the script, I’ll rewrite the cast
Turn one last second to a lifetime blast
[Chorus]
If this is my last walk, watch me go
Head high to the gallows, let ‘em know
You can take my pulse, but not my soul
I already let it go, let it go
If this is my last night in these clothes
I’ll burn my fear in a breath of smoke
You can close my eyes when the sky turns gold
But you’ll never touch the part I hold
[Bridge]
[Dubstep-style breakdown with chopped vocal glitches on “last walk,” “let it go,” and “my soul”]
(last walk)
(l-l-last walk)
(my soul, my, my soul)
Throat to the sky
Cord on my skin
Gravity waits
Like a long-lost friend
Silence hits harder
Than any blow
I mouthing the words
“I’m already home”
[Chorus]
If this is my last walk, watch me go
Head high to the gallows, let ‘em know
You can take my pulse, but not my soul
I already let it go, let it go
If this is my last night in these clothes
I’ll burn my fear in a breath of smoke
You can close my eyes when the sky turns cold
But you’ll never touch the part I hold
