Journey's End
Nothing's come close to it
And nothing ever will again
'Til you've been beyond and back again
To the journey's end
You'll know it when you see it
But only once you've lived a bit
And you've had to root around
In your own realities bullshit
The proof is in the doldrums
That's the truth of your daily life
Not sexy or romantic
Just boring and monotonous strife
You punch a clock and suck their cocks
'til you can cash your 401(k)
Then wind it all down
Reminiscing about bygone days
Looking back again on what we lacked back then
It's nothing consequential now
Dreaming to ascend, play dress up and pretend
A lifetime tipping sacred cows
Staring at the truth that living's been the proof
It's better back where we began
Facing down the fact we had it with the pack
We started at the journey's end
Remember when the days were spent
Combing through the import bins?
While still a haze, this time was gauged
By when the party would begin
We bucked the trends, were more than friends
While living in our own cocoon
Fighting fears and shedding tears
The years would pass by all too soon
Looking back again on what we lacked back then
It's nothing consequential now
Dreaming to ascend, play dress up and pretend
A lifetime tipping sacred cows
Staring at the truth that living's been the proof
It's better back where we began
Facing down the fact we had it with the pack
We started at the journey's end
Scratch and claw and beg and crawl
You're black and blue
Set your goals to chase your goals
It's what you do
Be careful what you ask for
Lest your dreams come true
Your suit and tie they fit just right
And now you're screwed
Now you're screwed
Now you're screwed
Now you're screwed
What will you do!?!?
Now we've seen around the bend
Maturity and back again
Brighter days were not ahead
Just nine to fives for which we bled
Hindsight shines a spotlight
On everything we really had
Exactly what we needed
In our shitty little punk crash pad
Looking back again on what we lacked back then
It's nothing consequential now
Dreaming to ascend, play dress up and pretend
A lifetime tipping sacred cows
Staring at the truth that living's been the proof
It's better back where we began
Facing down the fact we had it with the pack
We started at the journey's end
The journey's end
And nothing ever will again
'Til you've been beyond and back again
To the journey's end
You'll know it when you see it
But only once you've lived a bit
And you've had to root around
In your own realities bullshit
The proof is in the doldrums
That's the truth of your daily life
Not sexy or romantic
Just boring and monotonous strife
You punch a clock and suck their cocks
'til you can cash your 401(k)
Then wind it all down
Reminiscing about bygone days
Looking back again on what we lacked back then
It's nothing consequential now
Dreaming to ascend, play dress up and pretend
A lifetime tipping sacred cows
Staring at the truth that living's been the proof
It's better back where we began
Facing down the fact we had it with the pack
We started at the journey's end

We started at the journey's end
The journey's end
