lyrics

I cannot keep this secret anymore
I cannot feel you
I will not grieve for what’s in store
And I cannot heal you
So set me free, oh I implore you
I am not real to you and I have things to do
I cannot live this petulant lie
It seems I never knew you at all

And now we come to this
One more chance to purge the Afterlife
But now I’m only catching static

Prophets scream, “The end is near!”
And then bask in the glory of created fear

Thank God I am not the one to which you pray
I would take it all back and collapse this day

But I know what is not true
Our destiny is now optimized
I should not do this without you
I cannot converse in fractured metaphors
Convey to me what you need
I am receptive to dynamic schemes
I am extreme

A financial crisis; A global disaster;
Environmental crash; or First Contact
None of these things could compare to the pain
Of our dissolution

My thoughts compounding into fascination
I re-invent myself again
Each moment we create inside
Contains everything
A new beginning – the end is near

Desires dissolving into wanton need
I cannot live this way, for the end is near
Devotion dismantled into cool disdain
I simply cannot stay, for the end is near
Interspection devolves into a curious glance
Of a bemusing shattered view
Of the life intended that we never knew
You lost your way
Love collapsing into adoration – I feel the end is near

Music and Sound: Adam McLean
Lyrics and Voice: Gregory Francis
