It's taken me 50,000 separate wrecks to get here And I've learned I've learned absolutely nothing As I'm standing here alone Upright and motionless And I'm drowning in her sea The rising and sinking of every consciousness I've ever known Now detached and disconnected The endless cycle of idea and action Endless invention Endless experiment Endless hope Endless disappointment And I thought all I needed was just one breath to stay afloat For me it was like... Like the breath, the last breath The last breath that I never wanted Any of this I never thought that this would capsize But this isn't a boat, it's a coffin! And now I'm moving forward Into the sea, into the great sea So I begin with the end in mind So I begin with the end in mind So I begin with the end in mind So I begin with the end in mind So I begin with the end in mind So I begin with the end in mind The cycles of heaven Twenty centuries gone by Twenty centuries gone by Come home The cycles of heaven Twenty centuries gone by Twenty centuries gone by Come home The cycles of heaven Twenty centuries gone by Twenty centuries gone by Come home The cycles of heaven Twenty centuries gone by Twenty centuries gone by Come home But the end is coming like a flood It's going to be a year for growing And the greatest amount of forgetting My sea is dying But death is a doorway And at the very root of me I know this At the very root of me I know this I know this It's the greatest reminder What a broad world to roam in What a sea to swim in What a sea to swim in So I begin with the end in mind So I begin with the end in mind So I begin with the end in mind So I begin with the end in mind So I begin with the end in mind
