The clock ticks closer to the twelve And as the seconds count down you know, This is it. As the second hand touches the twelve there is a silence. The silence you find at a funeral And it is like a funeral, isn't it? Mourning when you were surrounded by friends, not even hours ago You know it'll never be the same, but you don't' want to know How your life has changed, turned inside out. The exam is now over, you've missed what was said You feel numb and feel weak But your heart feels like lead The scrape of chairs across the gym floor And it hits you, this isn't your school any more.

"...here at the end of all things"
The clock ticks closer to the twelve And as the seconds count down you know, This is it. As the second hand touches the twelve there is a silence. The silence you find at a funeral And it is like a funeral, isn't it? Mourning when you were surrounded by friends, not even hours ago You know it'll never be the same, but you don't' want to know How your life has changed, turned inside out. The exam is now over, you've missed what was said You feel numb and feel weak But your heart feels like lead The scrape of chairs across the gym floor And it hits you, this isn't your school any more.
