An End To The Means

It was a means to an end
Now an end to the means
Is all that is required
If there ever will be peace

It must be goodbyes and farewells
It's sad but it's true
The only one thing bothering us now
Is me and you

And even though we try
It's an effort in futility
Destined to fail again
And plunge us deeper in insanity

Happy days are gone by
The arguments are nightly
Pointers to tragedy
I'm not taking it lightly

It was a means to an end
Now an end to the means
What's the point we are unhappy
Poor little beings

Wanting more than we can take
Lust is a heap of sand
Build on it and live to regret
Now we can truly understand

Did it crash because we rushed
Or was it simply never meant to be
We connived to rob another's joy
Now we must dance to the reality

Maybe i'm being too emotional about this
Or maybe i've simply ran out of hope
For fears that this thing we call love
Is hanging on a breaking rope

It was a means to an end
Now an end to the means
For even if I can survive your the madness
We will still pay for our sin
