At The End Of The World

by Steve Maggiora

Spin 02:18
explain again to me just what i have to do to try to make you see things from my point of reference so turn it up and get lost in this song so spin around and tell me that the day ain't over we got one song on this playlist left to play flip up and down and let the world just get turned over as long as it's with you explain again to me just why you're so confused and while your world is filling with unanswered questions just turn it up and get lost in this song so sit on down, i'll be the chair at your table take a rest and i'll be there for you singing you a song if you would be my mic and cable and i'd sing it loud for you

up all night, i wait for you, i wait for you, i wait around here if you’re lost and scared, i’ll wait for you, i’ll wait for you, i’ll wait around here your timeless soul could never be contained; to another place or time you’ve disappeared. see, hopelessness is not my favorite game, but for you i’ll wait around for a thousand tomorrows… when have you gone? please don't leave us here to fend for ourselves. how did you go so far alone without turning back home? please set us free, bring us to the place where wrongs are righted how could we have been so foolish? unprepared, you called for me, you called for me, but i wasn’t there-- i left you hangin’ once again and like a fool, i baited you, i baited you, so cruel and unfair... just never knew quite how to love your timeless soul could never be explained; there’s no year or date could ever hold you down and desperate angst is now the chosen play of my ruined chanced redemption for a thousand yesterdays… Now, i miss those countless moments, countless highs, and countless chills that warm the core of all i am i so wish you’d known i would have waited for you, i’ll wait for you, i’m waiting right here-- looking up and reaching out for your timeless soul may well be birthed again, but it’s just not the same as knowing who you were and now i wait with only memories, trying to see your face as tomorrow slowly turns to today…

fifteen miles to the county line flashing lights and sounds fuel this broken world in fifteen minutes he'll be out of time god, please let this endless road somehow bring him back to life dont let go dont let go fifteen years he's blamed himself blind and wrong, pushing much too strong, and he was fifteen steps past his limit, babe now he's fifteen breaths from throwing fifteen years away dont let go dont let go countless years spent half alive contemplating to survive questions fill their desperate bones the terror & wonder of the unknown sixteen years, she told herself pressured by the expectations placed upon her long, brown stare sixteen times she's bled for help no one ever seemed to notice till she almost wasnt there

Dust 04:12
do you remember those autumn nights when mountains of leaves and october breeze would play? back when the world was cooler, water bluer long before the fire from the sky came and swept us away... where were you? we called your name a thousand times where did you go, and why'd you leave us all behind? we're never gonna run away we're gonna stay and fight another day we're never gonna run away from this mess we're gonna learn to take the blame for all the bloody shame we caused through love and hating those who ran away from their mess we're never ever gonna give up on our chosen play, we're gonna stick it out and watch the sun break forth slowly we're never gonna run away we're gonna stay and fight another day we're never gonna run away and where were you? as we wade through the dust of our lives claiming rubble as treasures of memories gone we march to the silent, still beat of our hearts that keep us in unison, carrying on where are you? did you fight through the fires of judgement to rise again? where are you, and will you ever return to deliver us? no.

Smile 03:41
smile for me tonight show me that you care even if you fake it go ahead and hate it just smile through gritted teeth shine your light on me even if it's dimming this is only the start it's not because i'm lonely you're one of few that know me and knowing that should be enough cause i want you so badly, if only you would have me then maybe things wouldnt suck this much go on, look at you and everything you are maybe it's not perfect, but maybe you deserve it come here and look at me accept all that i am you have no need to worry about breaking my heart see i could pen no chorus that holds the answer for us, but i will not lay in defeat so i offer up these verses for better or for worse and pray you'll feel my melody

Suddenly 02:59
ever look back and see that something wild is peeking through and leading you to something unfamiliar again? ever say the words, 'i wish it turned out different'? well, have you before? or will you, could you, would you if you knew that it's... suddenly half as much as two hearts, three bodies, one mind and suddenly half as bad as leaving one behind ever just stop and think about life and the wonder it holds - where you've been and why you're going round and round again? ever feel out of place and pressed to find a reason not to follow better judgement? take a breathe and think it over, baby
7.
The End 02:46
i dont know, not gonna lie i havent got a clue of what is waiting for us on the other side of life all i know's what i believe and it holds to no religion, faith or creed - we're all just spinning here and at the end of the world with no one keeping score of broken promises or unadulterated doubt it will all be made clear and there we'll find ourselves compassionate and all we've e'er denounced, we'll hold dear cause we're all just spinning here just ask yourself 'when will we finally learn that nothing's wrong until we wrong another?' be it brother, sister, mother - child, open up your heart and see we're all one family just spinning oh, so desperately upon this rock we ign'antly claim as our own look to your left, then to your right and see that hope only exists in open eyes and there's no one can ever save us from our wretched, cursed pride but when we stand with open arms embracing all that we've become we'll have finally found a purpose for life...
8.
Questions 03:25
questions in my mind something left to figure out i cant think straight they say 'seek and ye shall find' i hear it all the time what do they say about feeling like you're trapped and dying wasting away lost and crying out, 'won't somebody tell me' where's the end to all these questions? when's the start of something good? why's this take so long? i'm desperately in need of something anything to numb this pain i know, i know it's gotta start with me questions in my mind always something left to figure out they say 'seek and ye shall find' i hear it all the time what do they say about feeling like you're...

You'll See 03:36
i'm trying not to i'm trying not to feel trying not to think too much, but it's getting harder i think about her about her hair, her laugh, her smile and the way my heart stops when she calls my name but you said i need to work it out that love is what it's all about just try and you'll see that happiness is oh, so easy i'm trying hard to i'm trying hard to say trying hard to speak my mind, but it's unfamiliar i'm not about to go and throw my life away please know i'm still open to your suggestions no reason for despair you'll find out what you need to know as you get older why not open up to love and trust in what's above i'm trying, i'm trying
