So this is how it ends Now an incontrovertible truth Settling in to the swervous strings No Deus ex machina Working away in the wings No, this is how it ends So ruthlessly obvious now Beneath the veneer Simple stuck and clear
But God, how I feel such a fool That it took me so long to see That everything happens both slowly And all at once, all at once I suppose nobody promised explanations No, my mistake was thinking it would make sense
When this is how it ends When this is how it ends
And it's almost embarrassing now The torture, contortions it took Just to believe that there still might be In our Byzantine rat's nest of causes and effects Of eyes still left to take In my dizzying tangling magical code left to break The joys to make But I suppose nobody promised it would all mean anything God, how naive believing there's a point to everything
When this is how it ends When this is how it ends When this is how it ends When this is how it ends
