When you feel the weight of the world pressing down on your shoulders
And its magnitude makes it crude to even go one more day
And each dismal glimpse of humanity you see on the news
Keeps adding one more hue to your ever-growing bruise
And you feel so powerless to actually make a change
When you have so many burdens, so many debts to pay
And none of your old remedies are working anymore
And you find it hard to survive amongst so much that you abhor

When all you can do is cling to this lawn chair on the deck
Of a catastrophic ship that's about to be wrecked
And all you can foresee is cataclysmic events
And you consider just ending it now so you can escape this mess

But instead of giving in to the undertows,
Here's a consolation that I propose:

We'll have an apocalyptic party
Let's just go out with a bang!
So if you bake the cupcakes, then I'll call the bands
And we'll throw a great big festival to commemorate the end
We'll send out invitations through snail-mail and text
Let's invite everyone we know, since we don't know when we'll see them next!
And use the time we have before this party ends
To let it be known how much we appreciate our friends
'Cause they're all we have left when we get to this state
Of being too nihilistic, having too much on our plate
So we'll shoot off some fireworks, and write one last song
But since it's Armageddon, we'll all have to sing along
So just sing your heart out, and hold my hand
And let's cherish every moment until the utmost end
So just sing your heart out, and hold my hand
And let's cherish every moment until the utmost end!

So as the ship's about to sink, we'll look up at the stars
And revel in our gratitude for how lucky we are
To have had the chance to sing and dance in merry frivolity
To have been lucky enough simply to be

And even though it was mixed up
With all that pain
We'd still take the opportunity
To go back and do it all over again

So as we watch the fireworks as the world explodes
And it's like we're watching time-lapse as the Earth erodes
We nostalgically reflect on all we did and saw
Until all there's left to say is "Ooh" and "Awe"

Oooooooohhhh Aaaaaaaaaahhhh x3
