  • These withered hands
    Have dug for a dream
    Sifted through sand
    And leftover nightmares
    Over the hill
    A desolate wind
    Turns shit to gold
    And blows my soul crazy

    The end
    O the end
    We live again
    O I grow weary of the end

    O hungry days
    The footsteps of fools
    Gazing alone
    Through sex-painted windows
    Dredging the night
    Drunk libertines
    Stink like a colognes
    From the newfangled wasteland

    The end
    O the end
    We live again
    O I grow weary of the end

    Love is a plague
    In a mix-match parade
    Where the castaways look so deranged
    When will the children learn
    To let their wildernesses burn
    And love will be new never cold and vacant

    These withered hands have dug for a dream
    Sifted through sand and leftover nightmares

    The end
    Of the end
    We live again
    Oh I grow weary of the end Publisher: Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.
