It's Ending

lyrics

All of the other things that you wanted to
That you wanted to do
See; landmarks in the sky
Rubble under shoe

Yeah

Today I don't want to say
Anything to you
I feel up down
They put me in a box
You put me in a zoo

Oh, I don't really mean to claustrophize
I only ever wanted compromise
But it's ending

I don't want to tell you how to live your life
Ooh but you better close your eyes
Ooh it's ending

Life as I could bring

Hold for a minute
Sit while you make it all up
You remember the things that I felt? Just quit it
You were the ghostwriter in the book of all my dreams

Poor, innocent and feral piñata I am
Never any fun, yet for some reason you'd
Rush in for the loot whenever I was broken and on my own

Some of it all turned out fine
You asked a lot of these questions, but went offline
You caught a rare dolphin and reeled the line
Yeah, grabbed ahold with your greediness, golden twine

For a while, Columbine to my Noctuidae
Then Belladonna beckoning to my inner child
You oughta repo the afterlife
To find another moment, try to take my time

You never really meant to claustrophize
Or even really to control my life
But it's ending

I don't want to close my eyes
Ooh and you won't compromise
Ooh it's ending

Two kinds of mind inside
To feel that one is a victim and the other's just passing by
This can't go on through time
Here one pulls the trigger as the other is vilified

At this point, a crime - will I wake up
Is either of us still alive
I know as I stand here and try to end it
You know as you stand there and aim to end it
We know as we stand here and write this ending
We both know

You talk primarily with your eyes
And you make up words like claustrophize
Oh it's ending

In a parallel or next life
Oh I hope you compromise
Ooh it's ending
Enter epilogue, let the credits roll

Head in a Box image

Head in a Box Kitchener, Ontario

Based in Ontario, Canada, "Head in a Box" was created in the early moments of the 2020 pandemic, locked down and in isolation with a Baritone-8 acoustic guitar. The goal: to create songs as individual, fictional stories inspired by real people and events in an attempt to make the empty space, which enveloped the songwriter, feel a little bit less empty over the many, many months we were to endure. ... more
