(If You Want It)

I can't keep a straight face and say this is not the end

Not if you want it, it's upon us, and I wanna say it's sinking in

If I was hasty, maybe I was rushed along

I won't move into little boxes and then not get the itch to move on

So think real slow

Don't forget that yes is yes, and no is no

Melting prints of grass and snow

Means I may forget the way to get back home

'Cause this is the end if you want it

This is the end

You're not the first thing in my life, I've loved and lost

Yeah, I've thought worse things that I might be less inclined to

Merely just shrug off

You'll take me home

Like my family did, my father did I know

You'll think real slow

But don't forget the speed that I can go away

'Cause this is the end if you want it

Yeah, this is the end

I've been convincing myself that I'm worthwhile

'Cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be

Been convincing myself that I'm worthwhile

'Cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be

I met the devil and I stared her in the eyes

Her hair had scales like silver serpents

I, a statue, stood there mesmerized

I took the fire escape and made it out alive

Yeah, I still burn from time to time

But I've a healing hand against my side

Blisters on my feet, I crawled back home

Frozen from the sleet burned sand and stones

Nourished back to life by life alone

With one shake of the mane, regain the throne
