Jt Music - This Is The Last Night Lyrics

Can you let go?
It's a dead-end job, you'll find another way
Fighting so hard to make ends meet
Oh, you do more than you know
But here you are, working the kind of job
You gotta fight to not bring back home with you

But you don't know what it's like on my side
The other side of the night (why am I keepin' this job?)
I gotta keep all the lights on, I try
Punchin' the clock to survive (when I just sleep on the job)
I'm runnin' on an electric lifeline, but can you call it alive?
'Cause when the power goes out
It's my time to see what shadows can hide

Oh God, wait a minute
Isn't this another common phenomenon?
What a troubled mind does when the lights aren't on?
'Cause ever since my childhood, I was drawn
To the macabre like I was an edgar allan pawn
Now that I'm all grown up, I know fear grows with you
Sometimes, it can even be grown into
So I gotta know what's happening
'Cause it'll be a lot worse if I'm imagining

I see you creepin' (deep within the dark)
(Deep within the dark, deep within the dark)
I feel you sinkin' (teeth into my heart)
(Teeth into my heart, teeth into my heart)

Yeah, five nights here, that's a long haul
Workin' overtime with nobody on call
So is that a ghost on the phone
Who got me wonderin' if my body was my own?
This is a horror story that is shown, not told
What a corrupted mind does with the soul he sold
Hidden beneath a withered mask of fantasy and fun
Is a trap that you'll never see coming

It's my imagination (feeding off the dark)
(Feeding off the dark, feeding off the dark)
Is any secret sacred? (keep 'em in the dark)
(Keep 'em in the dark, keep 'em in the dark) (y'all)

I don't know if I can handle the truth
What kind of man have I been answerin' to?
With the cost that he cut, he can land in a suit
But he's dodgin' the law by the skin of a tooth
What was in the headlines has yet to be proven
He would've got away if I hadn't been snoopin'
A lot of loose ends, I can make 'em meet
But is a paycheck worth my integrity?

Is this the last night you get to come home?
They've taken their last bite, now the kitchen is closed
I know you don't need this job
(Because I've seen it rob your soul)
Comin' down to your last light
And you've gotta feel it (how long can you keep it on?)
Will this be the last night that your skin is still your own?
(Y'all)

I stand at the end of my youth
The phone may be dead, but I'm crammed in a booth
I've detected another red herring or two
But there's only one man who can handle the truth
And he closed the case, left the rest to God
But I won't walk away from this dead-end job
Because I've weighed the pros and I've ret the cons
You can bet I'm ready for the change yet to come
Why can I not recover my childlike sense of wonder?
I feel like I'm fallin' under a jaded and agin' slumber
'Cause I don't believe in monsters, I gotta put the job first
They're just animatronics, but can I believe they're not cursed?

What do you do for work?
What does work do for you?
Does it give you your worth?
And is it worth it to do?
Hope it doesn't leave you burnt
Battered, and broken, and bruised
But you were broke as it were
And beggars don't get to choose
Just when it couldn't get worse
Somethin' that shouldn't has moved
Just kick the back out the hearse
And then we're lookin' for you
You took advantage at first
Starvin' us in front of food
But we don't fall short of teeth
As we go long in the tooth

Your enemy-turned-family, genetically
So your DNA will remember me
With some memories comes agony
What happened on my last night at the scene?
Did I sing a swan song? That's a wrap for me
'Cause the skin I'm in now, I'm meant to be

This is the last night before you come home
You've taken your last bite, now the kitchen is closed
I know that you need this job
(Because I've seen you're not alone)
Brought you down to your last light
And if you don't feed it (the shadows will eat you up)
And then it's the last night that your skin is still your own
