The End of the World is Tonight

Distorted and refracted
Tenfold every second
And we hold every second
For the first time in many, many months
And she forced out a laughter
Despite all her grief, just to spite all my grief
And my feet make a splatter
It shatters through the water
Yeah, it feels so good

All distorted and refracted
Light bends at the corners
"Oh, you'd be so much better off as a stoner," I said
Drinking spirits killed the little spirit she had lеft
And she said that she's "moving quite past it"
But last timе she lasted four weeks before she passed out for days
And then we really couldn't get away

The end of the world moved in last year
And took my mama away, all the same
They say it gets easier
The end of the world is in my way
Don't bother with the noise, poor boy
She didn't like you anyways
She really fucked me up
It's not the fear of love that's breaking me up, up, up
And then down to the ground

It's the sadness
From the pleasure, the achievement, the entertainment
It's the sadness
From the pleasure, the achievement, the entertainment
It's the sadness
From the pleasure, the achievement, the entertainment

Distorted and refracted
Partly a digression
But well framed as a question
About the real world and its many, many girls

And she said "Do you love her?"
And I said "My God, Mama, she's a keeper
I hope one day you can meet her when you're sober"
But she ain't getting too much older

And then the end of the world moved in last year
They'll send their thoughts and their prayers
And they'll say that they'll always be right here for ya
(Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, up, up)
It's so funny I only know like three of ya
The end of the world cut off my ties
To the figures that love me and the figures that I idolize
Yeah, she really fucked me up
It's not the fear of love that's breaking me up. up. up
And then down to the ground

It's the sadness
From the pleasure, the achievement, the entertainment
It's the sadness
From the pleasure, the achievement, the entertainment
It's the sadness
From the pleasure, the achievement, the entertainment

A savior will come down from the sky
He could take you in the morning, he could take you tonight
I pushed my brothers and my lover away
Because I couldn't stand that there was no one else I could blame
A savior will come up from the sea
When you get a little older and you're listening to Chick Corea
But you don't know what any of it means
I shouldn't, I wouldn't, I said that I couldn't believe you were dead
Oh, it goes adoration, education, litigation, then cremation

It's the sadness (It's a savior)
From the pleasure (from the pain)
The achievement, the entertainment
It's the sadness (It's a savior)
From the pleasure (from the pain)
The achievement, the entertainment
It's the sadness (It's a savior)
From the pleasure (from the pain)
The achievement, the entertainment
It's the sadness (It's a savior)
From the pleasure (from the pain)
The achievement, the entertainment
