lyrics

I'm getting weirder as I get older. I’m not the person I expected, but I wouldn’t choose another. I made a few friends and I felt love once. I sang along to songs I knew by heart and that’s all I could have wanted. Just tell me how long til it’s over. It can’t stay good forever, like weather. A race begins so it can finish, goes back to the beginning by ending. Cover your eyes and stand beside me. Imagine me a memory disappearing. We’ll point the hands of every wall clock to the time when this will all stop and It all stops. This place in time will crack and fade, touched by that bastard called Decay. Why do our foolish half-hearts yearn and burn and ache? Worthless machines built just to break. An open space carved out in time, a little time. An empty page to claim as mine, yours and mine. Barely a dot along this line, we’re on the longest line. When I look back, just want more good than bad, I didn’t waste my thyme. This place in time will crack and fade, touched by that bastard called Decay. Why do our foolish half-hearts yearn and burn and ache? Worthless machine built just to break. In 5, 10, 15, 20 years, am I alive, are we still here? And is there anybody else or did they blow themselves to hell? If you and I have made it through, at least I’m miserable with you. This messed up place that we call Earth, a bombed out burned down piece of dirt. We’ll climb the towers made of trash. We’ll stand up tall, covered with ash. We’ll yell our triumph at the sky, “You didn’t win! we survived!” If I make it, you know I wanna make it with you. And if I make it, I wanna make it. If I make it, you know I wanna make it with you. And if I make it, oh if I make it. If I make it, you know I wanna make it with you. And if I make it, you know I wanna make it. If I make it, you know I wanna make it with you. And if I make it, I wanna make it. All that I want is to just know how does it end? All that I want is just to know how does it end? How does it end? If I make it, you know I wanna make it with you. And if I make it, I wanna make it. If I make it, you know I wanna make it with you. And if I make it, I wanna make it. If I make it, you know I wanna make it with you. And if I make it, I wanna make it. If I make it, you know I wanna make it with you. And if I make it, I wanna make it. All that I want is to just know how does it end? All that I want is to just know when will it end?
