Endgame

And on that day they'll tell youThat life hung on with no clueThe warning signs were all just missed or shattered downSo it goesThe kings all failed to tell usThe madmen failed to sell usOf what would then befall the only life we knowWhen they're burning signal firesTo guide us to the fieldsWe're building funeral pyresThey all come by the final appealThe city lines are downThe kerosene's run outThe fracturing of all we relied uponLets shed this unclean skinAnd start to feel againBecause all the shouldersOn which to cry are goneThe paranoia gripped usThe rain turned engines to rustThe panic set in like a cancer to our heartsSpreading throughWe bet on finite geniusOr prayed for gods to save usBut there was no antidoteDisease tore us apartWe left bodies in the fieldsSo numb that we forgot how to feelThe city lines are downThe kerosene's run outThe fracturing of all we relied uponLets shed this unclean skinAnd start to feel againBecause all the shouldersOn which to cry are goneHe looked at the fieldsAnd then his hands,"All I need is what I have"Then shed a tear of happinessShe watched the worldCrumble away"Is this the end of yesterday?""Lord, I hope so" is all he saidAll I've got are the organsAll I've got are the coco warsAnd as we go forthI pray we'll remember this dayOh, we relied on nowThe city lines are downThe kerosene's run outThe fracturing of allWe relied uponLets shed this unclean skinAnd start to feel againThere are no shouldersShoulders to cry on nowNo more, no moreNo more, no moreNo more, no moreThe weight that we once felt is gone
