The End Starts Here

A sinking feeling in my heart
Has been coming to the part
That I most fear

Things that started out so well
Turned into a living hell
And it starts right here

Build a wall around the town
For fear that we may drown
And tie the dogs
Don't let them get away

Bearing witness to the fall
Not a sane idea at all
That's what we're doing

Piece by piece before my eyes
'Til the whole damn thing just lies
Around in ruin

How could anyone ignore
It's all gone down before
What happened then
Will happen once again

The ends starts here
Even after all we've been through
Everything that we had
Thrown out in the cold to decay

The end starts here
No ceremony
No fondue
Just a poor breaking heart
Watching it all slip away

Is that the sunset up ahead
Or is the city burning red
Or am I crazy

Is my consciousness a curse
Do you think I only see the worst
Then please amaze me

It's easy to discern
The point of no return
So long lads
Just one way left to go

The end starts here
Pretty soon the lights will go out
Every man for himself
This panic descends in our time

The end starts here
How could there ever be any doubt
Oh it's just one little thought
The brief (?) of the mind

The end starts here
Where the buildings reach to the sky
You know the farther they go
The further they're going to fall

The end starts here
The feeble left to wondering why
While the suits have the power
The rest have to suffer it all
