lyrics

If you and I are so close then why are we apart
And will I see you as I saw you once this painter sells her art?
The last of many pictures of a photo-leaving mass
Where everyone's a stranger and a mystery in a mask

It's the end of your life
And It's a new way of living
It's the end of the world
And It's only the beginning

Hail Iris and hail Kali
Both to whom you write the check
For all the cards you're to be dealt
It's these girls start the deck
And you'll scramble to recover and you'll heal and make amends
Make no mistake about it, there are no mistaken friends

All that you have lost
And all that you've been given
It's the end of the world
And It's only the beginning

Our lives are fused to the rhythm of the times
Every curse word rhymes
Cooped up covered up coming down in waves
Gather thy good will
'Tis the season to be brave

I'm in a mood to spill my guts out
In a room without a ghost
I play the crowd, I play the players
Guests of honor and the host
The insignias on our jackets pumped our bloody hearts with pride
The shelves left bereft of choices left us breathless, choosing sides

All that you have lost
And all that you've been given
It's the end of the world
And It's only the beginning

It's the end of your life
It's a new way of living
It's the end of the world
And It's only the beginning
It's only the beginning
It's only the beginning
It's only the beginning
It's only the beginning
