Last Man Playing [SSC8, BELARUS]

[Verse 1] Neon names on every chart Songs written in a second flat Plastic faces on the giant screens Selling feelings they never had I’m tuning up this scarred old wood Duct tape on the cable end Crowd of twelve and one blue light That’s you And this beat-up friend [Chorus] I’m the last man playing in a wired-up world Calloused hands in a chrome rain swirl They got a million voices in a midnight cloud But they can’t fake the crack when I sing out loud I’m the last man playing Might be absurd But my heart hits harder than their coded words [Verse 2] They hum hooks they never wrote Perfect pitch No shaking hands Every chorus locked to grids Folded into flawless plans Me I miss a note I laugh Drop a line I start again You can hear the years between Every chorus Every bend [Chorus] I’m the last man playing in a wired-up world Calloused hands in a chrome rain swirl They got a million voices in a midnight cloud But they can’t fake the crack when I sing out loud I’m the last man playing Might be absurd But my heart hits harder than their coded words [Bridge] When the power fades and the screens go dark Will their songs still know your name? (yeah) I’ll be on a porch with a borrowed spark Strumming truth that sounds the same [Chorus] I’m the last man playing in a wired-up world Calloused hands in a chrome rain swirl They got a million voices in a midnight cloud But they can’t feel the ache when I sing this loud I’m the last man playing Leave me the dirt ’Cause my heart hits harder than their coded words
