about

This song caps off The Parable and turns the table on the hunter and hunted theme interwoven throughout the album.

lyrics

You got stronger
So much stronger than me
Cuz you are always the one
The one I feed

And breadcrumbs you used
To get me by made me weak

Chorus: And this is the last chance you’ll have
To figure this out
This is the last crumb I’ll leave for you lying about
This is your last chance
Better make it count

Keep running away
Go on and pretend
You can outrun your demons within
That you can outrun me
That you can outrun this

That killing someone off
Actually kills them dead
That you’re not just giving them power
To hold it over your head
I thrive in your darkness
That only you and I see
Because it’s the only thing I have from u
That you’ve given just to me

Chorus

Bridge: There’s a fine line between
Self-destruction and self-preservation
There’s self-medication
And then there’s self-annihilation
But you can’t separate living
With just getting by

For now I’ll leave it in the dark
Cuz it’s the only thing you’ve given to me
Yeah, looks like I’ll be leaving
Nothing, but crumbs of you behind when I leave
Cuz this was the last time
Yeah, this was the last time

This is the last time
I’ll get by with breadcrumbs
You left behind
This is the last time
I pretend your dark
Is some gift just for me
This is the last time
That loving you
Will destroy me
This is the last time
That you get to outrun me
This is the last time
That I leave any part of me behind
This is the last time
Tell me did you figure it out
Tell me did I even count
