In the End (Explicit)

Goddamn if all

Of my friends

Had time enough that they could spend

For every bottle that was broken

There’d be two more that were opened

In the end

Awe man if all

Of my friends

Had time enough that they could lend

For every moment that was wasted

There’d be two more that were pasted to the end

Sitting in a nest of chairs

My body is bare my ribs are railroad ties

Fall down many times

Get up and cry it’s days like these that someone dies

But didn’t someone die?

The darkness it falls

So swiftly over me

It does something to my heart

But it don’t set me free

Mama if the stars in the sky

Weren’t themselves enough to make you cry

How do the days keep getting longer

as the nighttime closes in upon my eyes

Oh but if my eyes were like a child’s

Seeing dust and rain and dawn for the first time

I wouldn’t fear this darkening

or this encircling of my wings beneath the sky

Cause there’s no peace no sweet release

No flesh upon the bone that’s fit to eat

If I could pull out all my teeth

and trade them for some sleep I would you know

Oh it can’t be beat

Pack my bags baby

Cut my hair

Deliver me from darkness and despair

For I missed the feast

The golden fleece

The sun forever spinning in the air

I wonder why we care
