The Final Chapter Lyrics

In the beginning it was a moment

Where the outside world dissolved

In the end it was a lifetime

Upon which everything revolved

What started out as research

Became a search inside my soul

What a strange but pure deception

Thinking you could make me whole

Well I was looking for love and you were looking for laughter

I was writing a tragic novel and you were the final chapter

In the middle I was wandering

Like an ant on a picnic feast

Staring through the midnight sun

And howling at the beasts

Breaking down the windows

And building brand new walls

Seeking out the tender thoughts

That flush down bathroom stalls

Yes I was looking for love and you were looking for laughter

I was writing a tragic novel and you were the final chapter

Somewhere near the start of what

I thought was the last page

I started to get lonely

And acted half my age

I saw you on the edge of

What otherwise was death

I killed myself came back to life

And caught another breath

Yes I was looking for love and you were looking for laughter

I was writing a tragic novel and you were the final chapter

Yes I was looking for love and you were looking for laughter

I was writing a tragic novel and you were the final chapter

Yes I was looking for love and you were looking for laughter

I was writing a tragic novel and mankind was the final chapter
