[INTRO - Strictly instrumental] [Pre Verse] At twenty we feared At forty it cleared At eighty we’ll say We wasted the day [Pre Chorus] The end’s the beginning The beginnings the end [Verse 1] We chase what will fade We fear what we made We cling to the now Then question the how We think that we know The truth we outgrow But the truth is we’re slow We’ve forgotten to glow [Pre Chorus] The end’s the beginning The beginnings the end [Chorus] We are the call and the fall and the all in between We are the code and the load and the unseen machine We are the break and the wake and the shift in the scene We are the now that was then that was never what seemed We live in the loop that we swear that we’re leaving behind We run from the truth but it waits in the back of the mind No past and no future just patterns we’re trying to find The end is the start every time that we think we rewind [Verse 2] Perspective skews truth As matter skews light From here we confuse Our wrong with our right From here we ignore The call of our heart We think with our mind Yet we live in the dark [Pre Chorus] The end’s the beginning The beginnings the end [Chorus] We are the call and the fall and the all in between We are the code and the load and the unseen machine We are the break and the wake and the shift in the scene We are the now that was then that was never what seemed We live in the loop that we swear that we’re leaving behind We run from the truth but it waits in the back of the mind No past and no future just patterns we’re trying to find The end is the start every time that we think we rewind [Verse 3] We measure in years What never appears We label it time Yet time is the climb A child in the face An elder in place All moments exist Compressed in a twist [Pre Chorus] The end’s the beginning The beginnings the end [Chorus] We are the call and the fall and the all in between We are the code and the load and the unseen machine We are the break and the wake and the shift in the scene We are the now that was then that was never what seemed We live in the loop that we swear that we’re leaving behind We run from the truth but it waits in the back of the mind No past and no future just patterns we’re trying to find The end is the start every time that we think we rewind [Verse 4] At twenty we feared At forty it cleared At eighty we’ll say We wasted the day The weight that we wore Was myth at its core Just stories we spun Then called it as “one” [Bridge] No line to defend No start and no end Just shifts in the view Of what we call “you” [Outro] So loosen your part Come back to the heart The mind bends the frame But truth stays the same And when you look back Through time’s quiet crack You’ll see with a grin You were always within
