After "The End"
I've lied by omission for an hour on the phone
Each time we've spoken in the years since I left home
I'm an unreliable narrator
Don't want to become a bad news bearer
Can't say that I'm a burden sharer
Can't say I learned to share
And I don't want to scare you like I scare myself
And I don't want to let you down like I let down myself
So you can rehash and revert and regress
And you can pick a stranger to whom you'll confess
And I can build a new life from scratch and pretend that I can live after "the end"
Live after "the end"
Live happily ever after "the end"
We buried the same past but we suffer alone
We fend for ourselves, forever in survival mode
There's nothing natural 'bout this disaster
There's no relief or simple answer
Wreaking havoc won't heal you faster
But the damage will last
And I don't want to scare you like I scare myself
And I don't want to let you down like I let down myself
So you can rehash and revert and regress
And you can pick a stranger to whom you'll confess
And I can build a new life from scratch and pretend that I can live after "the end"
Live after "the end"
Live happily ever after "the end"
It's not the story you wanted
But it's the story you got
What helpful advice
What a novel thought
It's not the story I wanted
It's not the story I wanted
It's not the story I wanted
So you can keep screaming to drown out the silence
And you can start talking to old pictures on your desk
And I can build a new life from scratch and pretend that I can live after "the end" (Regress)
Live after "the end" (Ever after, ever after)
Live happily ever after "the end" (Happily, happily ever after, happily, happily)
But you can't change that which is now permanent
And you can't write cold bodies back from the dead
Can't turn them from dust into warm blood again
There's nothing after "the end"
But a void that never ends
It's not the story I wanted
It's not the story I wanted
It's not the story I wanted
It's not the story I wanted
It's not the story I wanted
It's not the story I wanted
Each time we've spoken in the years since I left home
I'm an unreliable narrator
Don't want to become a bad news bearer
Can't say that I'm a burden sharer
Can't say I learned to share
And I don't want to scare you like I scare myself
And I don't want to let you down like I let down myself
So you can rehash and revert and regress
And you can pick a stranger to whom you'll confess
And I can build a new life from scratch and pretend that I can live after "the end"
Live after "the end"
Live happily ever after "the end"
We buried the same past but we suffer alone
We fend for ourselves, forever in survival mode
There's nothing natural 'bout this disaster
There's no relief or simple answer
Wreaking havoc won't heal you faster
But the damage will last
And I don't want to scare you like I scare myself
And I don't want to let you down like I let down myself
So you can rehash and revert and regress
And you can pick a stranger to whom you'll confess
And I can build a new life from scratch and pretend that I can live after "the end"
Live after "the end"
Live happily ever after "the end"
It's not the story you wanted
But it's the story you got
What helpful advice
What a novel thought
It's not the story I wanted
It's not the story I wanted
It's not the story I wanted
So you can keep screaming to drown out the silence
And you can start talking to old pictures on your desk
And I can build a new life from scratch and pretend that I can live after "the end" (Regress)
Live after "the end" (Ever after, ever after)
Live happily ever after "the end" (Happily, happily ever after, happily, happily)
But you can't change that which is now permanent
And you can't write cold bodies back from the dead
Can't turn them from dust into warm blood again
There's nothing after "the end"
But a void that never ends
It's not the story I wanted
It's not the story I wanted
It's not the story I wanted
It's not the story I wanted
It's not the story I wanted
It's not the story I wanted
