the end of you lyrics

Build for me your tightest ship, make the oars run swift and fast
Send me out your strongest crew, make their hearts and minds steadfast
Bless me with Athena there's no meaner, she's the best
When we hit the roughest sea we'll need all we can get

You say, "Sink or swim"
What a cruel, cruel phrase
I'd rather fly
Don't wanna be caught in this endless race

The first beast that will appear will entice us with money and fame
If you listen long enough you'll forget there's anything else
Tie me to the mast, of this ship and of this band
Tie me to the greater things, the people that I love

You can walk the plank
Do the dead man's float
Never let them see
Your heart is pounding full of hope

Let the last storm hit us, let it strike at the hardest part
Turn us all to mutiny, turn this boat upside down
I am not the captain, I am just another fan
Sailing off the edge of truth into the end of you

Eye of the storm
What a cruel, cruel myth
There's no bigger spotlight
Than shown on the ones brave enough to live

The end of you, the end of you, the end of you
I'm lookin' for you
The end of you, the end of you, the end of you
I'm lookin' for you
