reverend glasseye - last standing man lyrics

[verse 1]
i made a mask of damaged wood
and spoke in a private tongue
well i tried to bring the savagery
to one so foolish and young
i changed my name to prodigal
i tied my shoes too tight
i picked up my unused hammer
as i walked into the light
oh, i stained the insides with all these useless tears
lamenting with my scarce years
as they’re gone, gone, gone

[verse 2]
my breath, it was so acrid as it moved back in my mouth
i leapt into the window and i swung my hammer ’round
“oh yes i will teach you freedom!” i proclaimed with a forceful hand
this is my ceremony and i am the last standing man

behold, rejoice in solitude
i spoke to the weeping and desperate
i spoke as prophet and [?]
and won, won, won won
and i’m gone, gone, gone

[breakdown]
and i said not a word to him as he moved along
and though the embankment may be filled down and oh yeah i got on my knees then
but they hang me down
with their hand+me+down ropes and little leather pouches and ashes on their knees
and though the tombs they’ve made, i have my hammer here
i have my hammer here
[verse 3]
and in the name of need
i raise my voice and stand
but am i a man?
and oh the weight of wood upon my face
it is more than i can stand

[bridge]
and with one crack of the hammer upon my forehead
the mask splits in two
and falls upon the ground
and for the [?]
upon on the ground laughing
i raise my hammer
so close that it crosses my eyes
and here’s for simple pleasure
for useless ritual
for mindless visual
for empty griping
for violent fighting
for worthless bending
for happy ending

[outro]
and one crack will lead us there, pitiful [?]
one for the [?] and rotating [?]
and for the collectors that bump again too
and what remains of my mask
and one for the artists who drink their own blood
and one for the living and dying and done
and one for the fools that follow their soul
and make, and make their own man
and make their own man
