Lyrics This Is the End of the Story - Woe

This Is the End of the Story

The city is filling with poison, like the air is somehow alive. Hope is lost,\nfade away into emptiness. Celebrate the steady decline.\nCrushing the facade of all dreams.\nI collapse from the weight of my nothingness. I realize that everything fails.\nIt bores in me; I’m bored of it, aboard a ship that’s sinking and burning.\nMy mouth fills with bile when I think of it, how the hatred consumes me alive.\nHow many lifetimes spent in agony tearing at words that won’t rip?\nAn image, permanent.\nCrushing the facade of all dreams.\nSuccumb to pressure bearing down. The end, exhausted, I have found that loss is\na fire that always burns. And with these words, I am consumed.\nEverything is undone.\nLet my place go absent. I gasp for air and choke on fumes. Rot and shit and\nfear and failure. (One last look at it, one last breathe of it.) Fuck all this\npageantry, I’ll sing no more sweet words. Severed bones scream of silence.\n(Turn away. To the dust returned.)\nCrushing the facade of all dreams.\nWith every second getting closer, life’s out of hand, I’m out of reach.\nGaps in this conscience growing deeper still. I see no reason to push on.\nHands in the shadows, pulling us down. Tragedy’s vessel.\nSolitude speaks through me.\nThis is the ending.\nThis is goodbye.\nThis ends my confidence.\nThis ends my pride.\nThis is departure.\nThis is defeat.\nThis is a reckoning.\nI am now complete.
