Apocalypse Now Lyrics

Dusk to dawn and ash to dust

We see the sky open up

We live atop all the destruction

Built bigger homes on the erosion

And we don't hear no voices call

We blocked them out so many years ago

Whenever acid rain does fall

We'll burn the bodies of the weak and old

Turn the page

Burn the book

Turn off the TV, you're just thinking too much

And it's keeping you up at night

Lost count of sheep and still staring at the ceiling

You don't need it

Just close your eyes until you believe it

Turn away

Sneak a look

Don't take a picture, you've been seeing it too much

And it's tearing you up inside

Still picking up the pieces and searching for the meaning

You don't need it

Just close your eyes until you believe it

Bring the drums back

Tell my children that I'm sorry

But tell the press that I don't mean it

Tell my mother not to worry

But tell the world I don't regret it

And as the final bomb goes off

I'll be at the gates of Heaven

Begging god to let me in

Promising he won't regret it again

Turn the page

Burn the book

Turn off the TV, you're just thinking too much

And it's keeping you up at night

Lost count of sheep and still staring at the ceiling

You don't need it

Just close your eyes until you believe it

Turn away

Sneak a look

Don't take a picture, you've been seeing it too much

And it's tearing you up inside

Still picking up the pieces and searching for the meaning

You don't need it

Just close your eyes until you believe it

Been running for the past week

Can't stop till the morning

I'll be running on no sleep

Still no one can catch me

These apocalypse dreams feel so real

There ain't a moment that they won't steal

I packed my shit and left the city

Where they couldn't find me

But I was wrong

These apocalypse scars are bone deep

Who knew the end would be so lonely?

I can end it all at 50

I could lose myself in pity

I could find myself in Heaven before too long

These apocalypse dreams feel so real

These apocalypse marks just won't heal

This apocalypse isn't coming

It's happening now

These apocalypse scars are bone deep (this apocalypse isn't coming)

Who knew the end would be so lonely? (this apocalypse isn't coming)

I could end it in a second

Before they ever get me

Who knew that the apocalypse was happening now?
