End With An Ellipsis - Bane

Who was it who asked about the last mile being the hardest mile

Trying not to spend more time looking back

There’s still a bit more to go

Can’t stop measuring strike outs to home runs

Trying to justify these compromises that have piled up and dulled my blade

Maybe we stayed too long didn’t say enough, swing hard enough

The years just sort of ran away

And the ones that follow won’t be as fun

I’ll never love anything else the way that I loved this

So you know its not gonna be easy

To just let go

But the credits they will roll

It’s getting harder and harder

To give too much of my body and soul to a mess overrun by morons and thugs

Who’s only purpose is to break this, not hard enough to make it

Fighting on their own

We stand bound and gagged as they pee on our rug

The end result of not a single motherf**ker willing to take the hard road

Makes it easier to watch as the door swings slowly shut

Then there are those I’ll carry with me forever, live deep in my chest

Watched as you took your last breath on that floor in Wilkes-Barre

The room loved you so deeply our hearts broke as you faded

And i can never repay the lesson you left me as we rolled outta town that night

Not a thought in my head of beginnings or endings

Make the most of these days while they are still unfolding

Keep right on dancing while that curtain is closing
