[Movement I:]
Oh, I know
Where you wanna go tonight, oh
Oh, I know
When you wanna leave, oh when you wanna leave
Oh, I can tell
Where the bodies fell, oh
Oh, I can see
The end in my near future, oh the end in my near future, oh
Oh, I realize
That I've been wrong this whole time, oh
Oh, I regret
The first time we met, oh the first time we met
Oh, I wonder
Why my world is sinking under, oh
Oh, it's becoming clear
That the end is drawing near, oh the end is drawing near, oh
[Movement II:]
I approach the edge of town
I realize everything's broken down
My heart is a wasteland and my body's numb
And everybody's gone in the click of a gun
My mind can't erase the memory
It was a disaster, you can plainly see
I can't help feeling it's all my fault
The atomic bomb just hit the ground
And time slowed down in the blink of an eye
I got nothing to live for, I just want to die
Why am I alone in this empty place?
I'm so damn scared, I just wanna see your face
My life has changed in a millisecond
And I should be dead, just like the rest
Is this my punishment for the crimes
I never committed, why, oh why
I see a missing library
I see a missing nursery
I miss the calmness of this place
I don't know why we're hit, was it was a race
To see who could bomb each other first?
Is this the war at its worst?
Am I alone? Am I at home?
Why does the emptiness still roam
For miles beyond where I can see?
Is that you there that I see?
I want you to come to me
I walk on over to wake you up
Oh, please awake, oh please awake
I shake your shoulder violently
I wanna see you look at me, oh
[Movement III:]
I wish you were here
But I'm seeing you on the ground
I want to be there too
'Cause my mind's not perfectly sound
I need a helping hand to
Get me up on my feet
I need shock therapy
'Cause this heartache's not easy to beat
Please say a word to me
Please excuse my suicide, internal I mean
[Movement IV:]
Oh, I know
That you're gonna go tonight, oh
Oh, I know
That you're gonna leave me, oh that you're gonna leave me
Oh, I can tell
Where the bodies fell, oh
Oh, I can see
The end just passed above me, oh the end just passed above me, oh
[Movement V:]
And now we've reached the end
I've searched for miles, I starved for days, and soon I'll be dead
But it was not vain
Even though it ended in pain
