Bring On The Ending

Half of all our lives are spent Encouraged by embarrassment We hold our heads and stay asleep and cannot hear In case nobody called follow the prim ones And sit on your hands Watch your step don't hardly move Speak in hushed tones Till they bring on the ending They bring on the ending As we file to get outside With all the same coats on here it is December's end All our evaluations are in The lowland's goal Is less than low It's good So easy to have met them August light the weightless fall The hold of trucks Could carry us all The hot exhaust The thoughtless sleep We'd run and fall into the river we'd meet up at night Pretty late by the falls Talk too fast without regret With headlights and stars It was brighter than the daylight Bodies all back light Unconscious though we're moving Stereo was screaming we'll settle for stares Now unglide with our hands The basement is where we will live And stick to the crowds Without ever speaking We want it that easy And don't get caught dancing Even if you're drinking Don't get caught dancing --- Bring On the Ending - Matt Pond PA
