Beginning of the End

[Verse 1] We try, we fight, we battle on We chase the light until it’s gone We build, we break, we start again We lose ourselves to find a friend [Pre-Chorus] We give our best, we do our greatest We burn like stars, we shine our latest But deep beneath the noise and trend It’s always been The beginning of the end [Chorus] This is the truth we never speak The silent fall, the subtle leak No matter how the lines extend We’re drawing near The end again [extended guitar solo] [Verse 2] We learn, we love, we stand, we fall We write our names on crumbling walls We scream, we sing, we try to mend But every start Still tastes like end [Bridge – Spoken / Whispered] We navigate through life with all we’ve got We fight for meaning, give what we’re not And yet, whatever we defend It’s still The beginning of the end [Verse 3] We stand in rooms that time forgot We wear the names that others sought We hold the line, we fake the grace And vanish slowly Into space [Final Chorus] This is the truth we never speak The silent fall, the subtle leak No matter how the lines extend We’re drawing near The end again And still we rise And still we bend But this has always been The beginning of the end [final guitar solo] [Outro]
