This is How it Ends

When you try to lock the door
Won’t let in any more
This is how it ends

If we fail to heed the past
That kicked us in the ass
This is how it ends

There’s no bottom to this floor
Sinking lower evermore
This is how it ends

A conspiracy of lies
Has now led to our demise
This is how it ends

Those who want to block the light
Will bring an age of night
This is how it ends

While you say that you don’t care
The thieves will take your share
This is how it ends

When you’re rotten to the core
Shouldn’t lead us anymore

There’s a race to tear it down
The future’s cancelled now
This is how it ends

There’s a plague across the nation
Infecting thirty-three percent
This is how it ends

There’s a war out on the streets
And our time is now complete
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
This is how it ends
