If this is how it must conclude
Then let it be
Like a cigarette smoked right to the bone
You've reached the end of me
If this is how it must be
Then subsequently, let it be known
That although the fruit of our labours
May have long since been set to fail
That doesn't mean the harvest was to no avail
If this is how it must unfold
Then let it be so
Let it be so, let it be so
The world will continue to turn, I now know
If this is how it must be
Then subsequently, let it be known
That although the fruit of our labours
May have long since been set to fail
That doesn't mean the harvest was to no avail
Once upon a time, we were so alike
Now I can hardly look you dead in the eye
Now the walls talk more than we ever do
And unlike you, they never lie
