lyrics

who knows what happens when you die? hell, what if heaven is a lie? to say that you know more than me about the afterlife, i swear. why should i even care? let's live until we're dead. for all we know, we all died long ago and we're already there. "god save our souls..."

"we know everything..." "consume and destroy..." what have we got left? ruins of heaven?

we sit with fingers in our ears hoping we'll never have to hear the ugly sound of truth as it flows like a river to the sea. kneel and pray for salvation, a blissful ignorant nation. the ugly truth is if the end is near, you don't know where you'll be. god save our souls.

stars fall, and the people of earth delight in a new day. the stars will align and the waves will crash down, carrying our city away. and i guess my greatest fear is just of dying alone. as another shot of alcohol sinks into my bones. and one more night i'll go to sleep only to wake up drenched in my own sweat with my fists tightly clenched. as i prayed for eternity in spite of the end, i found the truth in the bottom of a bottle of my new best friend. i hope we'll gather round and put up a toast, as we sit and we watch, and we wait for the end of the world.

take me down. take me down. take me home.
