Bitter End

At 24
I fell into the trap door
Threw a man overboard
As I swam for the shore
At 25
I noticed red in my skies
Made a bed for his lies
In the whites of my eyes

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

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

At 29
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

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

Rapture, rapture
Ever after, in the bitter end

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

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

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
