This Is an Ending

[Verse 1]
This is my house
These are my spoons
I own these flies
They love your soup
Look at me, child
Lend me your breath
I want to slip
Inside your head

[Chorus 1]
This is an ending
I don’t wanna recognize
It’s only an ending
It don’t mean I have to die

[Verse 2]
I hold my tongue
They cannot know
That I’m still here
I said I’d go
My precious boy
With eyes that see
The flesh and bones
I used to be

[Chorus 1]
This is an ending
I don’t wanna recognize
It’s only an ending
It’s not like I have to die

[Chorus 2]
Some people don’t need
More than one goodbye
But I keep pretending
That I am still alive

[Verse 3]
I cannot sleep
‘Cause you keep me up at night
I hear you weep
So I stay by your bedside
Gently kiss your cheek
And hope to secretly
Steal your life

[Chorus 1]
This is an ending
I don’t wanna recognize
It’s only an ending
It’s not like I have to die

[Chorus 2]
Some people don’t need
More than one goodbye
But I keep pretending
That I am still alive

[Outro]
If this is an ending
If this is an ending
Then it’s an open kind
