Closer To The End -

She climbs into her padded room

Holds the darkness like her groom

And when she pushes through the gloom

She dances slowly

She tries the officer

But no one seems as off as her

And no one even offers her

The chance to tell them

We’re getting closer, closer and closer

We’re getting closer to the end

And as you hold her, it’s getting colder

We’re getting closer to the end

Now the end has just begun

She remembers how it used to be

At holidays beneath the trees

At picnics with her family

She danced so slowly

But now away she goes

'Cause she’s the only one who knows

The darkness comes and then it grows

She tries to tell them

We’re getting closer, closer and closer

We’re getting closer to the end

And as you hold her, it’s getting colder

We’re getting closer to the end

Now the end has just begun

And when the stars begin to darken

They’ll tell us that it’s only rain

And when the sun begins to grow

They’ll tell us everything’s the same

But this doesn’t feel the same

No, I don’t feel the same

This doesn’t feel the same

It certainly doesn’t

She screams when she can feel it break

The sand, it storms — the earth, it quakes

The fire streams feed fire lakes

She tried to tell them

We’re getting closer, closer and closer

We’re getting closer to the end

And as you hold her, it’s getting colder

We’re getting closer to the end

Now the end has just begun

We’re getting closer, closer and closer

We’re getting closer to the end

And as you hold her, it’s getting colder

We’re getting closer to the end

Now the end has just begun
