[Verse 1] Eyes red in the hallway Scarf dragging on the floor Coffee cold Casefile open He’s seen all this before Sleepless on the rooftop Watching kids test their luck He won’t clap Won’t coddle “Stand up when you’re stuck” [Chorus] He’s the shadow in the spotlight Blink and all your power’s gone If you can’t fight in the dark You won’t make it till dawn He won’t smile Won’t say much But he’ll bleed to keep you strong He’s the last man closing his eyes So you can carry on (eyes open, stay strong) [Verse 2] Wrapped up like a warning Lines around your throat One look and the quake stops shaking Fear caught in your coat Scarred hands Dry humor “Expelled” just means restart He’ll break you down to nothing To rebuild your heart [Chorus] He’s the shadow in the spotlight Blink and all your power’s gone If you can’t fight in the dark You won’t make it till dawn He won’t smile Won’t say much But he’ll bleed to keep you strong He’s the last man closing his eyes So you can carry on (keep moving, carry on) [Bridge] Who saves the ones Who swear they’ll save? He stands between Their hope The grave Silent Tired Still he stays Blink once He doesn’t look away [Chorus] He’s the shadow in the spotlight Blink and all your power’s gone If you can’t fight in the dark You won’t make it till dawn He won’t smile Won’t say much But he’ll bleed to keep you strong He’s the last man closing his eyes So you can carry on (eyes open, stay strong)
