Until the World Collapses

UNTIL THE WORLD COLLAPSES

Sometimes you wake up and wonder
How much longer the rain will fall
How long the sky will stay so blue
and how much more of this you can take

every morning you wake up and go through
the same old routine, think about the bad things
and try to think about the good
but someday you know that you'll be unable to cope

---------
Cry my eyes out onto the floor
walk all over me, break me to peices
stretch my heart out over the sea
but I'll still survive
Hold me until the world collapses
down around my fingertips
but the stars will still be there
for me to sleep on
--------

Cascading waterfalls of lives unpassed
Metal giants stabbing the clouds with
steel fingernails. Kiss the sky with your
loving eyes, kiss away the rain that falls

Someday you'll wake up and know that its over
Your voluntary purgatory and martyrdom dissappated
Evaporated into the oblivion inside your mind
Hold your head in your hands until the world ends

--longer and slower now, it's only you
More and more now, it's only your thoughts
It's only you--

-----------
Cry my eyes out onto the floor
walk all over me, break me to peices
stretch my heart out over the sea
but I'll still survive
Hold me until the world collapses
down around my fingertips
but the stars will still be there
for me to sleep on
-----------

Someday you'll wake up and wonder
Where it all went
