Lyrics:

I’m waking up at the start of the end of the world,
but it’s feeling just like every other morning before
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it’s gone

The cars are moving, like, a half a mile an hour and I
started staring at the passengers who’re waving goodbye
Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time

But I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well, I guess we’re gonna find out
Let’s see how far we’ve come
Let’s see how far we’ve come

Well I believe it all is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess we’re gonna pretend
Let’s see how far we’ve come
Let’s see how far we’ve come

I think it turned ten o’ clock, but I don’t really know
Then I can’t remember caring for an hour or so
Started crying and I couldn’t stop myself
I started running, but there’s nowhere to run to

I sat down on the street and took a look at myself,
said, “Where you going, man? You know the world is headed for Hell
Say your goodbyes if you’ve got someone you can say goodbye to”
