The End Of Joy Lyrics - Babylon - Matt Skiba

This sinking feeling in this heart of mine 

Keeps me captive at the helm 

So its seemingly a matter of time as I slowly drift straight down to hell 

Like a stone dropped in a well 

Its loudly pounding in this head of mine 

just like a hammer to a bell 

And as its sounding the alarms to 

get in line in time we have our own sick tale to tell 

from where our demons used to dwell 

The end of joy 

the death of truth came to destroy everything we knew 

Lost in the void, forgotten youth 

Fan the flames of the burning heart inside of you 

This crimson dripping off these hands of mine 

From all the time that I have killed 

Wishing everything will turn out just fine, 

til I clean up all the blood Ive spilled. 

Though you wait there soft and still, 

You know damn well I never will 

The end of joy 

the death of truth came to destroy everything we knew 

Lost in the void, forgotten youth 

Fan the flames of the burning heart inside of you 

And while you live your days on the straight and narrow 

You wish to clip the wings of the soaring sparrow 

and as your angels sing our hearts remain as feral 

Felines on the front lines marching towards impending peril 

The end of joy 

the death of truth came to destroy everything we knew 

Lost in the void, forgotten youth 

Fan the flames of the burning heart inside of you 

The burning heart inside of you 

The burning heart inside of you
