The End of Things Songtext
von Gary Numan

Is that a voice calling me softly?
Nothing in here is quite how it seems
Is that a whisper's touch or my fear?
Am I awake or lost in old dreams?

Everything's so cold
The air is so stale
There should be nothing here to see
Is this a warning
Like in the black book?
There can be no one else but me

I see a darker shade of darkness
I hear a shadow hide in the lie
I feel a suffocating tension
Within a terrible desire


Everything's so cold
The air is so stale
There should be nothing here to fear
But I hear breathing
A child's laughter
Can any part of this be real?

Everything I work for
Everything I long for is always just to far
Everything I hope for never comes to be
Everything I bleed for burns a scar on me
Everything I fight for leaves a bitter taste
Everything I cry for laughs into my face
Everything I scream for barely knows my name
Everything I'd die for will die just the same
In here
With me

Is this the truth of your forgiveness?
Are you the strangers stood at my door?
Are you the end of this come calling?
Are you the answer that I've wished for?


Everything's so cold
The air is so stale
And there is nothing here but me
If I belong here
And this is mercy
Then there's no place I'd rather be

Everything I worked for
Everything I longed for was always just too far
Everything I hoped for never came to be
Everything I bled for burned a scar on me
Everything I fought for left a bitter taste
Everything I cried for laughed into my face
Everything I screamed for barely knew my name
Everything I died for died just the same
In here
With me
