The Way

Modern living - expired time
Don't be afraid, the water's fine

Cause this is the way the world ends
A cigarette shared between friends
Home movies on cherished cassette
Yeah, this ain't a world that will bend
To performative marketing trends
That will easily sell its substance

Modern living - expired time
Don't go gentle into the night

Cause this is the way the world ends
In matters of love & suspense
With family surrounding your bed
Yeah, this ain't a world that gives-in
To the threat of an inconvenience
To the distance that sits between us

Modern living - expired time
Don't be afraid to blur the lines

Cause this is the way the world ends
Eating cotton candy sunsets
& forgetting that summer will end
Yeah, this ain't a world that relents
That simply ignores the violence
That lets all the shit define us

Cause this is the world we live in
Each ending a new beginning
It's heartbreaking & it's thrilling

Yeah, this is the way the world ends
A cigarette shared between friends
We promised the future's pretend
Yeah. This is the way the world ends.
