Lyrics

Beginning Of The End

I tried so hard to tell you,
I tried so hard to make you understand...
So tired- the world of statues...
I broke the plaster straight down from their arms.
No matter what the subject;
no matter what your point of view,
it's just the way it's been-
The end will always come to you-
No matter what forever;
No telling what you'll do...
No more to say, remember-
all the words I'm telling you:
"The past is past forever,
the, 'now' will be there too"-
The years you tried to hide it...
All the years, I knew it, too-
A constant search for answers...
In trivia, the clues-
A secret search for redemption...
In seeking, I found you-

The holidays have changed...
...but summer days still feel the same-
Only without you-
I'm growing colder without you

It's now too late to turn back;
Too late to change your tune...
The grave that haunts forever,
...is bearing down on you-
Through nightmares, dreams and pictures,
and every out-of-view,
you're sinking; staring blankly...
So fully, out-of-tune

No time, no joy, no love, no sense, no world, no where, no way, no when-
This is a new beginning,
so cheer away the bends!

I wish that we could stay forever
(as you so proudly said)...
So many days together-
a "Hobbes" to call my friend...
Yes, this is a new beginning,
but not the way you meant-
For sure a new beginning...
-the beginning of the end!

The holidays have changed, but everything around's the same-
Only, without you. I'm growing colder without you.
