The End Song

THE END SONG

 

darling your broken go out and show em

yell out and give them the lot

though it may fail you'll hoist up the sails

and say that you've give it a shot

 

when you're done with death, revenge and sex

what will you say to the people?

you'll talk of past fames, tricks and old games

after all thats all you have left

 

we'll call out for hands call out for praises

year after year the same dried up faces

when the birds are all gone and the flowers no longer exist

 

signs of repeating my joy is quite fleeting

after all where does it go in the end

a few empty spaces a few empty cases

and a void that can never be fixed.

 

throw in the trinkets and say that you mean it

and maybe i'll crack out a smile…

 

so promise me darling when the black cloud is coming

you'll wipe all these tears from my face….

once it's all over, that man on your shoulder

will call out the end of the race
