Last Cell
by Convictions

Album: I Won't Survive

Verse 1: Michael Felker and Danyal Suchta
To my daughter I'll leave behind
I can't stop what's metastasized
You're the light in my decline
You're the one thing I've done right

All my days have become numbered
And I have become numb to it

Spite flooded veins
Paranoid the pulse has lost me
My purpose has become nil
My cells multiply against my will

Chorus: Danyal Suchta
I'm sorry I won't be there
For your first steps
When you're falling
'Til you walk down the aisle
Standing tall
In a white dress
I know life isn't fair
When it's time
And heaven's calling
We leave love behind
You were my reason to fight

Post-Chorus: Michael Felker
My reason to fight

Verse 2: Michael Felker
If this body is a temple
Then my walls were built on sand
There's cracks in all my windows
The foundation is condemned
But it's weathered many storms
I can't take one more

Chorus: Danyal Suchta
I'm sorry I won't be there
For your first steps
When you're falling
'Til you walk down the aisle
Standing tall
In a white dress
I know life isn't fair
When it's time
And heaven's calling
We leave love behind
You were my reason to fight

Solo: Joshua Canode
Interlude

Bridge: Danyal Suchta
I never thought this would all end at 29
There's a conflict in my soul;
A system failure of my life
No, I'll never get enough
And you should never watch me die
But that's just how this one goes
Think of me, think of me and close your eyes

Think of me and close your eyes
Think of me and close your eyes
Think of me and close your eyes
Think of me and close your eyes
Think of me and close your eyes

Outro: Michael Felker, Danyal Suchta
I'm sorry for the things I couldn't help:
(Think of me and close your eyes)
For all the times you'll walk through hell
For the cancer tearing my spirit out
When your world comes crashing down
(Think of me and close your eyes)
I'm sorry for this fleeting farewell
Despite all the fear I felt
(Think of me and close your eyes)
I loved you down to every last cell
(Think of me and close your eyes)
Don't let your light run into the shadows
