The End - In Distress lyrics

Said the metropolis to the ocean depths, amidst its vast and murky expanses For how much longer must we all hold our stale breaths? Our lungs are stretched And will we ever stop feeling anxious, and when will we rest? Our laurels have been picked And then the tides boldly replied in chorus the waves did roar Against the open shores Timelessness is but a mere instant and you missed it It slipped right through the cracks and in between your calloused fingertips And there it goes again Said the blind fawn to the circled pack of predators that had gathered in the wooded clear I never once questioned my life's purpose or my self worth And as the saliva strands soaked into the earth, she spoke these final words And a serene hush fell throughout the forest Her infant voice was ominous Timelessness is but a mere instand and you missed it It slipped right through the cracks and in between your calloused fingertips And there it goes again F*** it, it cannot be caught There are no pauses in this bleak and tragic drama You've only got a minute so what will you do with it? Oh, f*** it, you've missed it once again It died within a breath The eleventh hour It's now or never You'll lack luster when it's over At least then feign despair It's a brilliant flicker, the point of the pen The jagged peak of the fabled mountain Now you can say you've been Down, down, down into a dismal dire spiral Follow the arrows they will show us all the way Down, down, down were not getting any closer But at least it feels better than standing still Down, down and lost within the segments of the circle All the radians are as brilliant as the sun Down, down, down without a hint of feeling remorse For the mirriage of the chasm to the falling swan By Anthem
