Matt Mahaffey on the writing of “The End of It All”:
I heard about this guy who taped a sheet of acid to his chest and smuggled it onto a plane and died. He was obviously an idiot. I started with that idea and then there was a plane crash somewhere and it became a song about that. So it’s basically...
[Verse 1]
One bad engine lost power to the system
The media dismissed them 'cause they all died up there
Devil's under the floor, devil's at the door
Radar hoses
Go unnoticed
Needing protection, needing relief
Needing the answers to questions before I sleep
Such a well-mannered boy, where's your manners boy?
Action poses
Broken noses
[Chorus]
It's all so different now
It's the tune (sha-la la) comedy plays us
Will we be rectified at the end of it all?
Or completely faceless?
[Verse 2]
It's all a fluke hid in vicinities
To avoid detection change identities
It's a neverending war, it's a neverending war
Hey Captain Pete, where's Section E?
I'm entrusting my life, I travel lightly
Time to settle the score, now go 'head settle scores
Schooled musician, that's what the paper said
(That's what the paper said)
You're a victim
[Chorus]
It's all so funny now
It's the tune (sha-la la) comedy plays us
Will we be rectified at the end of it all?
Or just lie faceless?
[Break]
No! No! No! No!
Ooh...
[Chorus]
It's all so funny now
It's the tune (sha-la la) comedy plays us
Nowhere to save you now at the end of it all
Unlock face mask
