The End of Things

[Verse 1]
Is that a voice calling me softly?
Nothing in here is quite how it seems
Is that a whisper, search(?), or my fear?
Am I awake or lost in old dreams?
[Chorus]
Everything's so cold
The air is so stale
There should be nothing here to see
Is this a warning?
Like in the black book
There can be no one else but me
[Verse 2]
I see a darker shade of darkness
I hear a shadow hide in the light
I feel a suffocating tension
Within a terrible desire
[Chorus]
Everything's so cold
The air is so stale
There should be nothing here to fear
But I am breathing
A child's laughter
Can any part of this be real?
Everything I work for
Everything I long for
Is always just to far
Everything I hope for
Never comes to be
Everything I bleed for
Burns a scar on me
Everything I fight for
Leaves a bitter taste
Everything I cry for
Looks into my face
Everything I scream for
Barely knows my name
Everything I'd die for
Will die just the same
In here
With me
[Verse 3]
Is this the truth of your forgiveness?
Are you the strangers dead at my door?
Are you the end of this come calling?
Are you the answer I had wished for?
[Chorus]
Everything's so cold
The air is so stale
And there is nothing here but me
If I belong here
And this is mercy
Then there is no place I'd rather be
Everything I worked for
Everything I longed for
Was always just to far
Everything I hoped for
It never came to be
Everything I bled for
Burned a scar on me
Everything I fought for
Left a bitter taste
Everything I cried for
Looked into my face
Everything I screamed for
Barely knew my name
Everything I died for
Died just the same
In here
With me
