The Ending of Innocence

Here we are all silent and sound, standing on familiar ground

If you're not destined to remember, then you're destined to repeat

It's your future, not theirs, It's your future, not theirs

Love becomes an emotion, that we can turn off (turn off your electric light)

As consumption owns our soul

Day to day, today goes by, work our fingers to the bone

It's our future, not hope

Brush your hair back, as you always do, I'm watching you

Don't go for work today, let's stay inside, let the night slide through

Empty house, and a bottle of wine, the fire is burning bright

This is the ending of innocence 1Liner noteThe same chorus turns up in Ending of Innocence II, with new verses and the chords written in. This one never got its chords on paper.

We are all confined inside in our own little ways

Arms wide open waiting for the days to end

Life lies me down in a bed of lies

It's my future, I've come to accept

Brush your hair back, as you always do, I'm watching you

Don't go for work today, let's stay inside, I promise I'll be true

Empty house, and a bottle of wine, the fire is burning through your skin

This is the ending of innocence...

This must be the ending of innocence

Instrumental.

Brush your hair back, as you always do, just do that just for me

Let the whole world outside burn down for all I care

The world can be without us for a day, live in complete debauchery, yeah

Let all the days before this moment fade as if they were never there

This is the ending of innocence.
