Soft & Sweet - Until the Mountains Are Gone (Act III) Lyrics

Your chest fell, it didn't rise
I heard your mountains flatline like a siren in the middle of the night
I stared blankly right ahead
I felt the building's walls shake, the ceiling fell to piece on your bed
And outside the sky is black
Smoke pouring from the west-wing, people scream as the hospital collapsed
A gunshot is self-inflicted, moments before Armageddon
I don't get it, why'd it have to come to this?

So if the world does end tonight
I hope you know that I'll be alright
Laying on the asphalt
Thinking about how I'll see you again

And if the world does end tonight
I'll hear you like a whisper by my bedside
Said "You're the only one who's scared of life, and I'm the shadow of death"

This is darker than I could imagine
Why am I the only one left standing, again?
Well, I can't do this on my own
So come back for me and, baby, please take me home

And she said "This was never how your life was supposed to be
You were supposed to move on, and I hope you can forget me
Or who I became, and never speak that creature's name
Forget about the dying girl in the hospital bed
Or the ghosts in her eyes, or the words that she has said
They're vindictive, she was just trying to push you away
Forget about the scar on your arm or the chill down your spine
Whenever she'd scream that her skin was too tight
You fell in love with hopelessness
And now it's something that you'll always miss"
