This is the end of everything, this is the end I know. This is the end of everything, take your love with you when you go. This is the end of happiness, this is the end dreams. This is the end of everything, it's the end for you and me. I don't know, what to do. In my heart I still love you. I don't know, what to say. I will always feel this way. This is the end of everything, this is the end I know. This is the end of everything, take your love with you when you go. Oh...

Who needs remote control? The way I feel right now is impenetrable And on a big fourth down, a bump in the road The shortest little tunnel ride from lake to Monroe Ring, ring, ring, oh my death machine You know it rings all day, it doesn't mean anything I took the ride line south, the mask on my mouth For all my friends in different metropolitan towns For all my friends in different metropolitan towns It's just another wrinkle in the cloud It's what you get It's where you are That's how we're built What a world What a world It's what you get It's where you are It's not a race What a world What a world It's like a whistle in the wind Feels like the end of everything Who sees the thread in the veil? I need my government check, it got lost in the mail And for the fresh new pack, fifteen on the bill Everything considered, still a drop in the pail Ooh-wee, check your messages please I'm in the crib these days, where would you rather be? I miss the brown line track, too close to the screen 'Cause that view of the city is my favorite scene Yeah, that view of the city is my favorite scene Covered up the wrinkles underneath It's what you get It's where you are That's how we're built What a world What a world It's what you get It's where you are It's not a race What a world What a world

Why don't we kill the lights? I'm no good at hiding underneath a sea of tears Flood pouring through my eyes I can't even close 'em, I can't even see you clear And when you're looking in the mirror Demons may be closer than they may appear You can even cry and sit and stare Or try to run away, I'm tryna run away I'm staring at a ghost I'm staring at a ghost Why don't we take a walk? Everybody knows a hand to hold is all we need Quiet, let's not even talk Every word I say to you, you only just repeat And when you're looking in the mirror Demons may be closer than they may appear You can even cry and sit and stare Or try to run away, I'm tryna run away I'm staring at a ghost I'm staring at a ghost Blood is on our hands We never understand Living just to die another day Powder on our face carries us away Reaching for a dream that always fades Madness in a smile Won't you stay a while? I'm staring at a ghost I'm staring at a ghost (I'm staring at a ghost) (I'm staring at a ghost) I'm staring at a ghost (I'm staring at a ghost) (I'm staring at a ghost)
