End Of The Line
Sleigh Bells Lyrics

The nightmare lies in the mourning
The real horror lies in the morning after when the birds are bleeding and the dream is over.

When the birds are bleeding
The pain and suffering are unbearable, and there's no hope left.

And you hope the day will come
You cling to a false hope that things will get better, but in your heart, you know they won't.

But you're never gonna live this down
The shame and guilt will follow you forever, and you'll never be able to forgive yourself.

Wish it away with the blame
You try to deflect responsibility and blame others to deny your own fault in the situation.

You could just stop breathing now
You contemplate suicide as a way to escape the pain and despair.

You didn't want it enough
You didn't have the strength, courage, or desire to fight for what you wanted or needed.

And you tap and you cut
You engage in self-harm as a way to cope with emotional pain or as a form of punishment.

And you start with the heavy breathing
You have a panic attack or feel overwhelmed and suffocated by stress, anxiety, or fear.

You're parallel to the dark
You're stuck in a state of depression, hopelessness, or despair and can't see a way out.

But they're still not leaving
The demons or negative thoughts that haunt you won't go away, no matter how hard you try.

But you try and talk
You attempt to reach out for help or express your feelings, but no one listens or cares enough to respond.

You'll do anything but you're never gonna keep it down
You resort to any means necessary to numb or distract yourself, but the pain and trauma always resurface.

Don't leave me now, don't leave me now
You plead with anyone or anything to stay with you and not abandon you in your darkest hour.

It didn't have to be this way
The situation could have been different, better, or more positive if things had gone differently or if someone had acted differently.

You know it didn't have to be
You have a sense of regret or remorse about the past and wish you had done things differently.

But it's the end of the line
It's too late to change anything or turn back time. The situation has reached a point of no return.

So goodbye
You accept the inevitable and say farewell to the past and the present.

Can you hear me
You want someone to acknowledge your pain and suffering and to show empathy and compassion.

Can you see me
You want someone to pay attention to you and to recognize your existence and relevance.

Now you talk to yourself
You engage in self-talk as a way to rationalize, cope with, or process your emotions and thoughts.

And you wonder why nothing ever changes
You question why you're stuck in the same pattern of pain and suffering and can't break free from it.

How you're gonna fall so far so fast
You worry about losing control, failing, or crashing down from a high position or expectation.

Who you gonna blame this on
You search for a scapegoat or a cause of your problems and pain, but you can't find one.

I don't care anymore in the morning
You lose all hope, motivation, or interest in living or trying in the morning when the birds are bleeding.

When the birds start bleeding now
You associate the morning with horror, pain, and suffering, and you dread facing it.

And it's all the same
Every day feels like the same nightmare, and you can't find a way out of it.

I was faced to the wall
You felt trapped, cornered, or suffocated by a situation, and you couldn't see a way out.

With the mirror crashing down
Your self-image, identity, or confidence shattered, and you felt hopeless or unworthy.

And you stood so tall
You once felt strong, confident, or powerful, but you lost that sense of self.

But you fall and you're never gonna get back up
You fear that you've lost your chance or ability to recover, heal, or overcome the pain and suffering.

Am I central now, am I central now I was central how
You question your significance, relevance, or identity and wonder if you matter or if you ever did.

No one loves you
You feel unloved, rejected, or unwanted by others, and you fear that you'll never find love or acceptance.

Up above you
You see others as superior, better, or luckier than you, and you envy or resent them.

No one hears you
You feel invisible, voiceless, or unheard by others, and you fear that your pain and suffering will never be recognized or addressed.

No one sees you
You feel unnoticed, irrelevant, or insignificant to others, and you fear that you'll fade away into obscurity or oblivion.
