Who would have thought, at the start of this
That survivors would want no more part of this
That the world of the living would feel so much like death
Who would have thought that the rest of us
Would hurt so to hear they’re the rest of us
Who would have thought that the strong would feel so weak?

Now my appetite’s been piqued
But the peaks all feel so long ago
And the valleys constant, filling with tears
This song is my attempt to climb
An epitaph scribbled in rhyme
Will it be worth it in the end?
Will the scars begin to mend?
How many will be left who still remember me?

‘Cause the world never ends
Each extinction ushers in an untold era
But it doesn’t feel like our time
Even if it feels like mine
Revolving, returning
The world keeps on turning
And I hope that from our pain you’ll keep on learning
And the flame that drives you forward keeps on burning

Who would have thought that I’d still be here?
Who would have thought that the end was never near?
I, for one, never thought that I’d make it this far
Dreams and idle fantasies
Are pleasant while they last
But I feel I’m never making the most of them

Yet a dream has never hurt this much
Our hopes become a shaky crutch
And even before, there were pangs of it
I want to feel I’ve made a difference
Fortune gleaming in the distance
But I’m tired of the grind
Before 40 hours I close my eyes
And shut out the world as long as I can

‘Cause the world never ends
Each extinction ushers in an untold era
But it doesn’t feel like our time
Even if it feels like mine
Revolving, returning
The world keeps on turning
And I hope that from our pain you’ll keep on learning
And the flame that drives you forward keeps on burning

Edibles and MMOs
Only do so much to dull the ache
I’m sober now, and the fog isn’t lifting
A dead-end job
And I’m dead a cog
Rusting with the rest of the gears that weren’t shifting

‘Cause the world never ends
Each extinction ushers in an untold era
But it doesn’t feel like our time
Even if it feels like mine
Revolving, returning
The world keeps on turning
And I hope that from our pain you’ll keep on learning
And the flame that drives you forward keeps on burning

‘Cause the world never ends
No, the world never ends
