Bitter End

At twenty-four

I found I fell into the trap door

Threw a man over board

As I swam for the shore

At twenty-five

I noticed red in my skies

Made a bed for his lies

In the whites of my eyes

I was naïve

It got harder to breathe

Still, I don't let 'em see

That there's blood on my knees

All that I want

Is to hear that one song

When the noises are gone

I'll be singing along

Teach me the sound that can take me away

Play it again and again until I find rapture

It nevеr really ends

Teach mе the sound that can take me away

Play it again and again until I find rapture

Until the bitter end

At twenty-nine

I didn't see all the signs

So I hung on the line

Till I lost my spine

I prayed to God

I could curb the black dog

Oh, the days are so long

With the oxygen gone

Teach me the sound that can take me away

Play it again and again until I find rapture

It never really ends

Teach me the sound that can take me away

Play it again and again until I find rapture

Until the bitter end

Rapture, rapture

Ever after, in the bitter end

Guess what I learned

From every bridge that I burned

That your love should be earned

And the world will still turn

All that I want

Is to hear that one song

When the noises are gone

I'll be singing along

Teach me the sound that can take me away

Play it again and again until I find rapture

It never really ends

Teach me the sound that can take me away

Play it again and again until I find rapture

Until the bitter end

Rapture, rapture

Ever after, in the bitter end

Finding rapture, rapture

Ever after, in the bitter end

Finding rapture

Ever after

Finding rapture

I need a rapture
