[Movement I:]

Oh, I know

Where you wanna go tonight, oh

Oh, I know

When you wanna leave, oh when you wanna leave

Oh, I can tell

Where the bodies fell, oh

Oh, I can see

The end in my near future, oh the end in my near future, oh

Oh, I realize

That I've been wrong this whole time, oh

Oh, I regret

The first time we met, oh the first time we met

Oh, I wonder

Why my world is sinking under, oh

Oh, it's becoming clear

That the end is drawing near, oh the end is drawing near, oh


[Movement II:]

I approach the edge of town

I realize everything's broken down

My heart is a wasteland and my body's numb

And everybody's gone in the click of a gun

My mind can't erase the memory

It was a disaster, you can plainly see

I can't help feeling it's all my fault

The atomic bomb just hit the ground

And time slowed down in the blink of an eye

I got nothing to live for, I just want to die

Why am I alone in this empty place?

I'm so damn scared, I just wanna see your face

My life has changed in a millisecond

And I should be dead, just like the rest

Is this my punishment for the crimes

I never committed, why, oh why

I see a missing library

I see a missing nursery

I miss the calmness of this place

I don't know why we're hit, was it was a race

To see who could bomb each other first?

Is this the war at its worst?

Am I alone? Am I at home?

Why does the emptiness still roam

For miles beyond where I can see?

Is that you there that I see?

I want you to come to me

I walk on over to wake you up

Oh, please awake, oh please awake

I shake your shoulder violently

I wanna see you look at me, oh


[Movement III:]

I wish you were here

But I'm seeing you on the ground

I want to be there too

'Cause my mind's not perfectly sound

I need a helping hand to

Get me up on my feet

I need shock therapy

'Cause this heartache's not easy to beat

Please say a word to me

Please excuse my suicide, internal I mean


[Movement IV:]

Oh, I know

That you're gonna go tonight, oh

Oh, I know

That you're gonna leave me, oh that you're gonna leave me

Oh, I can tell

Where the bodies fell, oh

Oh, I can see

The end just passed above me, oh the end just passed above me, oh


[Movement V:]

And now we've reached the end

I've searched for miles, I starved for days, and soon I'll be dead

But it was not vain

Even though it ended in pain
