Bitter End (Bonus Track)

(album: Screen Violence - 2021)

At twenty-four
I fell into the trap door
Threw a man overboard
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 them see
That there's blood on my knees
All that I want
Is to hear that one song
When the noise is all 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

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 were 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 that 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 noise is all 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
