Bitter End

[Verse 1]

At twenty-four

I fell into the trapdoor

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

[Pre-Chorus]

I was naïve

It got harder to breathe

Still, I don't let 'em see

That there's blood on my knees

All that I want

Is to hear that one song

When the noises are gone

I'll be singing along

[Chorus]

Teach me the sound that can take me away

Play it again and again until I find rapture

It nevеr really ends

Teach mе the sound that can take me away

Play it again and again until I find rapture

Until the bitter end

[Verse 2]

At twenty-nine

I didn't see all the signs

So I hung on the line

'Til I lost my spine

I prayed to God

I could curb the black dog

Oh, the days are so long

With the oxygen gone

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

Rapture, rapture

Ever after, in the bitter end

[Bridge]

Guess what 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 noises are gone

I'll be singing along

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

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
