No the docAtors didn't tell you, thaF#mt you were dying
They just colElected their money, and sDent you on your way.
But Ayou knew all along, went oF#mn pretending nothing was wrong.
you said EI will keep my focus, tilDl the end.
And in thAe journal you kept, by F#mthe side of your bed.
You wrotEe nightly in aspirDation, of developing as an author.
ConfAessing childhood sF#mecrets, of dressing up in women’s clothes.
CompuElsions you never knew the Dreasons to,
Well eveAryone, you eF#mver meet or love,
be just relatiEonship based on a Dfalse presumption,
despite everAyone, you ever F#mmeet or love.
In the eEnd, will you Dbe all alone?
As thAe disease spreads slowly through your body,
pumped by yF#mour heart to the tips of your arms and your legs,
your gEreatest fear was that your mind wouldn't last,
your cDoherency and alertness would be the first things to fade,
as yoAur hair thinned, as the weight fell off, as your teeth blackened,
as F#mthe lesions spotted your skin,
as you fEell to your knees in the center of the stage,
as you offered witDness to mortality in exchange for the ticket price,
as thAe lights blended into the continuing noise.
As F#mall hope was finally lost, adrenaline carried one last thought to fruition
Let this be the end.
Let this be the last song.
Let this be the end.
Let all be forgiven.

F#m

A F#m

No the doctors didn't tell you, that you were dying

E D

They just collected their money, and sent you on your way.

A F#m

But you knew all along, went on pretending nothing was wrong.

E D

you said I will keep my focus, till the end.

A F#m

And in the journal you kept, by the side of your bed.

E D

You wrote nightly in aspiration, of developing as an author.

A F#m

Confessing childhood secrets, of dressing up in women’s clothes.

E D

Compulsions you never knew the reasons to,

A F#m

Well everyone, you ever meet or love,

E D

be just relationship based on a false presumption,

A F#m

despite everyone, you ever meet or love.

E D

In the end, will you be all alone?

As the disease spreads slowly through your body,

F#m

pumped by your heart to the tips of your arms and your legs,

your greatest fear was that your mind wouldn't last,

your coherency and alertness would be the first things to fade,

as your hair thinned, as the weight fell off, as your teeth blackened,

F#m

as the lesions spotted your skin,

as you fell to your knees in the center of the stage,

as you offered witness to mortality in exchange for the ticket price,

as the lights blended into the continuing noise.

F#m

As all hope was finally lost, adrenaline carried one last thought to fruition

Let this be the end.

Let this be the last song.

Let this be the end.

Let all be forgiven.
