[Instrumental Opening] [Verse 1] When I reed high minded literature Like mangos and Van Gogh I liken it to viticulture, You know, the act of picking grapes Off vivid shapes in rotten estates, And I come to the realization That no one will save me, From this situation, I’m confused, The forest seems dark and black, And the tv is saying, It’s the end of the world… [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 2] Fires spell our demise You know, E N D… And will anyone Anyone, Save us from this poor shit show, There’s meteors falling And riots on the streets A lake of blood revolving As I’m glued to my seat…. At least my Dad is here with me I suppose we’ll wait this out He told me we’re safe As long as I never leave… [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] The world is ending And I’m in my room I’d try to leave But where would I even go… I feel a scythe falling As I presume With all my belief That it’s all I need to know… I want to run But where would I go, He’s got a gun, And the world is ending… [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] I was young when we went away Somewhere deep and hidden, It was so long ago now, That sometimes I wonder If my father ever had black hair… But I can’t think anymore… And there’s no way out I can go outside I’m allowed, But there’s trees And a misty forest Stealing my hope… I’d love to leave, I hate the way he touches me, And I loathe the clothes He makes me wear… But I guess it’s for the best That I stay home, Cause the world is ending, Don’t you know… [Instrumental Bridge] [Bridge] Is it really up to me I don’t know anymore, Do I have any control I don’t know anymore, I’ll close my eyes And maybe one day I won’t have to, Anymore… [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] The world is ending And I’m in my room I’d try to leave But where would I even go… I feel a scythe falling As I presume With all my belief That it’s all I need to know… I want to run But where would I go, He’s got a gun, And the world is ending… [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 4] Today’s the day I wear dog ears And a tight chain leash as well I’m ordered to fetch him beers And obey every word he tells… Yesterday was cat maid play The one before was gator day, My room is pink and fluffy For the princess tummy display… And oh god I want to leave But is that really up to me, A beautiful thing I’d believe If my life was really up to me, And oh god I want to go Away from this poor shit show But it’s on tv, you know, The end of the world… [Instrumental Bridge] [Bridge 2] I was watching the screen When I heard the machine Speaking to me, It told me to press the button That daddy always said no, And I tried to resist But I held no control Over the movement of my wrist And the button was pressed, And the tape fell out… Independence Day… [Instrumental Bridge] [Outro] I took my stuff and went away, Into the dark forest I know Beyond isn’t complete death But precious breath, Air laced with freedom And it was scary, So goddamn scary But I had to go… When I got to the other side I smelled smoke, So I went back home… [Instrumental Bridge] Is it really up to me I don’t know anymore, Do I have any control I don’t know anymore, I’ll close my eyes And maybe one day I won’t have to, Anymore… [Instrumental Fade Out]
