The World Ended Years Ago

People are waiting for doomsday to come
But it came and went you were just too numb
Now nothing matters it's so cheap and so empty
You try way too hard too assign it some meaning
There's no color there's no sparkle at all
Just a test pattern humming inside of your skull
Lifeless and void is how it remains
No self left inside that dead brain

The world ended years ago
We didn't even notice that we let it go
But we're still here and we're unable to thrive
And soon we'll forget we were ever alive

The world ended years ago
We didn't even notice that we let it go
But we're still here and we're unable to thrive
And soon we'll forget we were ever alive

Everyone's a xerox a copy of a copy
Fading away and blurred right out
Can't even count how many shades of grey
We don't even notice what's missing from today
Nothing piled on nothing that's what we got
There never was more or so we were taught
The end long passed you and i still remain
If we take all these pills it will end our pain

The world ended years ago
We didn't even notice that we let it go
But we're still here and we're unable to thrive
And soon we'll forget we were ever alive

The world ended years ago
We didn't even notice that we let it go
But we're still here and we're unable to thrive
And soon we'll forget we were ever alive

Everyone's faces are so blank and so frail
Tired and poor clipping coupons from the mail
Nowhere to go no way to get ahead
40 hours a week and then you're dead
Too tired to feel too exhausted to think
The alarm goes off and you start to sink
Forcing yourself to emulate life
To support the kids and the unhappy wife

The world ended years ago
We didn't even notice that we let it go
But we're still here and we're unable to thrive
And soon we'll forget we were ever alive
