The Way It Ends

Lyrics

[L: Verse 1] I'm sitting down and pouring tea as if I do it every day Go through the motions like the hands upon a clock Though it feels right a part of me knows that it's wrong As if another's will had moved me It's like I'm hitting all my marks, as if I'm acting in a play So out of character, yet somehow not a shock I'm like a software program caught in an endless loop Just bad code that keeps repeating [L: Chorus] Is this the way it ends now? How could I not see this coming? My camera's cloudy lens now Takes much darker pictures than before [Light: Verse 2] I know by now you understand you're but a pawn upon a board I've won the game but never gave up half my years Life will continue just the way I've always planned Let the cold, hard justice crash the system I've always stayed a step ahead But you were with me the whole way Until I played upon a Shinigami's fears For Misa's love, she wrote your name then left upon a breeze Into the sands of dust and darkness [Light: Chorus] This is the way it ends now! [L] See it flicker, hear it humming [Light] My power just extends now! Rem has written, you will write no more! [L: Bridge] I've seen through you right from the start! [Light] I've simply let you play your part! [L] You'll never ever get away! [Light] Don't you see that you will die today? [L: Chorus] Is this the way it ends now? How could I not see this coming? The message that it sends now Sounds exactly like a closing door [Light] This is the way it ends now! See it blazing, hear it drumming [L] Like a closing door! [Light] Feel how a minute spends now When you wish you had a minute more [L] Like a closing door [Light] A minute more
