The Sound of the End

from Shinra EP by Shinra

/

lyrics

Pushed into the ancient sea
Now you've grown
Split the empty shell that remained
Of your home
So long, little one
So long, little drone

Spit my name from your lips
And I'm gone
Left the wreckage all to me
Whistle on
So long, little one
So long, little drone

You made it all pretend, you're
Cutting off the insect's
Wings like a kid, content
Something that you've always

Dreamed since the day that you
Curled fingers around this
Crutch of the drink
Brimming confidence

How can you defend this
How you were corrected
How can you erase this
All your thoughts have been

Playing the child again
Playing the child again
Asked where
Where
Where have you been?

Tell me what I need to be
I'm your own
Crawling in a defeat
That you've borne
So long, little one
So long, little drone

Cast into the shape of a rake
That you loved
Pull me and push me away
Now move on
So long, little one
So long, little drone

Drink it from the brim, yes,
Drink it from the brim
You question all around
Howling like you’ve been
Have another drink, yes,
Have another drink
My face was a tell
Howling like you’ve been

How can you defend this
How you were corrected
How can you erase this
All your thoughts have been

Playing the child again
Crying like you’ve been
To the sound
The sound
Of the end

It’s the sound
Of the end

Crisp footsteps
Wet pavement
Come crashing
Don’t touch me
Cause I’m gone, little one
Yes, I’m gone

Assignments
Assassins
Come raise me
Won’t find me
Cause I’m gone, little one
Yes, I’m gone

Gone
