To the End; or George and Gustave

Oh what an Age!

I feel it bear down on my shoulder,

I feared the world was getting colder,

Darling I was wrong.

Oh, what a Day—

There’s nothing more to say.

I don’t know how to live,

Got nothing more to give.

But I find it in me somehow

I stagger on,

And I hold on

To the end.

So tell me true:

You see a light in the tunnel, you see a way through

You see the answers, you see proof

You see a reason, you see me too—

Or tell me a lie.

There’s nothing more to try.

I don’t know how to breathe,

But I know I’ll never leave

And I find it in me somehow

I stagger on,

And I hold on

To the end.

Let me find something to love

To the end.

’Cause it’s a long road

To walk alone,

And I’d rather share the sights

Than be out here on my own.

So let it be you

To say you’ll have me too—

That we’ll see each through

We’ll find it inside somehow

We’ll soldier on.

Oh we’ll hold on.

We crawl and climb unto

The bitter end.
