Empire

Drop

Last meal, last meal, pass the can around

Last meal, last meal, no more world to burn down

Verse 1

The radio died in a burst of gray

We ran out of roads about yesterday

Somebody found a dented tin

We split it six ways with a rusty pin

Mara hums a tune she half remembers

We laugh too loud at the dying embers

Nobody talks about the towns we passed

We just hold the bread like it's gonna last

Pre-Chorus

Hold it up, hold it high

We made it here, that's enough tonight

Hold it up, don't ask why

We're alive, we're alive

Chorus

Last meal, last meal, pass the can around

Last meal, last meal, no more world to burn down

Break the bread, break the bread, tear it with your hands

Last meal, last meal, best thing in the wasteland

(La-la, la-la)

(We made it, we made it)

(La-la, la-la)

Verse 2

Somebody's cousin brought a busted radio

We sing over static till the batteries go

The fire spits and pops and throws a spark

We dance around it laughing at the dark

Every scar is just a story we survived

Every empty shelf, a reason we're still alive

Stale crumbs, warm hands, a crooked little grin

The end of everything and we're still in it

Pre-Chorus

Hold it up, hold it high

We made it here, that's enough tonight

Hold it up, don't ask why

We're alive, we're alive

Chorus

Last meal, last meal, pass the can around

Last meal, last meal, no more world to burn down

Break the bread, break the bread, tear it with your hands

Last meal, last meal, best thing in the wasteland

(La-la, la-la)

(We made it, we made it)

(La-la, la-la)

Breakdown

(Pass it, pass it, pass it down the line)

Quiet now, quiet now, just the crackle and the flame

(Pass it, pass it, pass it down the line)

One more bite, one more breath, one more name

Chorus

Last meal, last meal, pass the can around

Last meal, last meal, no more world to burn down

Break the bread, break the bread, tear it with your hands

Last meal, last meal, best thing in the wasteland

Drop

Last meal, last meal, pass the can around

Last meal, last meal, no more world to burn down

(La-la, la-la)

(We made it, we made it)

Last meal, last meal

Last meal, last meal
