  • When the end is getting closer
    And the earth has burned the sky
    Now repent 'cause it's all over
    Just let me die

    Here's the massacre
    A mausoleum fit for me
    Lived a hundred years
    A hundred years I didn't see
    Gave all my hope away
    Is there any left for me?
    Bombs are splitting atoms
    What can the future bring?
    We can fill a million choirs
    And wait 'til children sing
    We can walk a million miles
    And end up in the sea
    And our lungs just keep filling
    And lying when we breathe
    The world's filled with liars
    Liars like me!
    And I look at my child
    It's finite, this feeling
    Eyes blue like the sky
    I see all of this meaning
    I reach up to God
    And I ask if I'm dreaming
    So sorry I don't have
    Those things that you're needing
    And darling a kiss
    Kiss me, I'm leaving!

    When the end is getting closer
    And the earth has burned the sky
    Now repent 'cause it's all over
    Just let me die
    As my body lies here broken
    And I'm carried to the light
    Now my heart is finally open
    Just let me die!

    Everybody says greetings and goodbyes
    Everybody pays, no one knows the price
    We know the price of sin
    The sin of sacrifice
    I know I'll sin again
    But who can save me twice?
    How much can we ask?
    You'll get the answer first
    How much can we kneel
    With the air that chills the Earth?
    The air keeps getting colder
    My knees keep hitting dirt
    The innocent can cry without the guilty getting hurt
    You ask who you love and you don't know, no, do you?
    The spirit of God just passes right through you
    You gave away heaven handed right to you
    And I can see it all
    Tell me, is it true?
    Kiss me, my darling
    (Darling, I need you)

    Where do we go?
    We go, oh, Lord, I don't know
    Where we go?
    We go, no
    (I don't know)
    Where do we go?
    We go, oh, Lord, I don't know
    Where we go?
    We go, no

    Lord, I don't know!

    When the end is getting closer
    And the earth has burned the sky
    Now repent 'cause it's all over
    Just let me die
    As my body lies here broken
    And I'm carried to the light
    Now my heart is finally open
    Just let me die! Writer/s: Daniel Murillo, Dylan Peter Alvarez, George Arthur Ragan, Griffin Boice, Jordon Kristopher Terrell, Jorel Decker, Matthew Busek
