The End Always Wins

from Nostalgia Like Cancer by Murderbait

/

lyrics

She grasped at breath with frail hands,
Knowing full well it would soon slip like smoke,
In a gown most undignified,
In a room cruelly lit and free of comfort and cheer,

All triumphs and failures to her seem the same,
Words pointless to employ,

He sits atop a cliff’s edge,
With all the strength poised that did alight him to this lofty perch,
Freewheeling and longing to be free,
To redistribute this wealth of carbon back to the soil,

Like lightning in haste to the earth from which it came,
With words pointless to employ,

In as much as it starts where it begins,
No matter how you play it,
The end always wins.

She spent her years like tinder,
Sparked and gone only to light the flame of another,
Dedication and sacrifice like water to the sea,
She swam and would drown much the same,

How funny to be a creature so detached from will,
To exist as a cautionary tale alone,

He took everything as though a supernova,
Roaming the earth with insatiable want,
Fractal connections and fractured paths,
Simple pleasures as foreign as the stars,

How sad to have all you want and nothing you need,
To exist as a cautionary tale alone,

In either case and whatsoever chosen sins,
No matter what path,
The end always wins.
