Welcome to the lost and found, where everyone is hiding
Tell me why you’re underground, I swear it’s not surprising
Did you leave a dream behind or make the wrong decision?
Time is just a state of mind; don’t abandon your ambition
Forget the fear that you missed out
And all the years that you list out
You exist right now
You got something to prove
So what did you lose?
Tell me what did you lose?
Step inside your favorite place, where no one is above you
Stare your phantom in the face to discover that it loves you
Welcome to the lost and found, where everyone is learning
If you're feeling safe and sound, you better get your fire burning
Forget the fear that you missed out
And all the years that you list out
You exist right now
You got something to be
So what do you see?
Tell me what do you see?
What do you see?
I see a glimmer in the distance
And if I blink I’m gonna miss it
Well, that’s al, that’s alright it’s only the end of the world
I don’t know what’s coming over me
Nothing good as far as I can see
Well, that’s al, that’s alright it’s only the end of the world
Alright it’s only the end of the world
Alright it’s only the end of the world
Welcome to the lost and found, where everyone is learning
If you're feeling safe and sound, you better get your fire burning
Forget the fear that you missed out
And all the years that you list out
You exist right now
You got something to be
So what do you see?
Tell me what do you see?
I see a glimmer in the distance
And if I blink I’m gonna miss it
Well, that’s al, that’s alright it’s only the end of the world
I don’t know what’s coming over me
Nothing good as far as I can see
Well, that’s al, that’s alright it’s only the end of the world
Alright it’s only the end of the world
Alright it’s only the end of the world
Alright it’s only the end of the world




It's just the end of the world
It's just the end of the world

Trance vocals has got to be the most horrifying singing I ever heard in any music to date. If I could just find instrumentals, I would buy those instead. But many albums don't have them :(
