Endings Are Beginnings
Embracing the Cycle: Finding New Beginnings in Endings
Lyrics
If endings are beginnings
If conclusions mark new starts
Maybe we should be leaving
Perhaps it's time to depart
If loving you's like dying
If loving you resembles dying
Maybe I could stop breathing
Maybe I could cease breathing
We listen, but are we hearing?
We hear, but do we truly listen?
And endings are like beginnings
And endings mirror beginnings
If the start is just the finish
If the commencement is the conclusion
Then maybe we should keep moving
Then maybe we should persist
What things did you accomplish?
What achievements have you completed?
Maybe we could stop counting
Perhaps we could cease the tally
I write to learn what I'm thinking
I write to understand my thoughts
And endings seem like beginnings
And endings appear as fresh starts
Though I dig my heals right in
Even if I resist adamantly
There ain't a soul not suffering
No one escapes suffering
You pass it on like a baton
You pass on pain like a relay baton
And run and run and run and run
And continue to run endlessly
Alas the heart, it cannot speak
The heart cannot articulate its pain
It holds its tongue between its teeth
It keeps silent amidst its troubles
I travel across the great divide
I traverse the vast gap
From neutral ground to your bedside
From neutral territory to your side
If pain was just a tattoo
If pain were merely a temporary mark
Maybe it will stop hurting
Perhaps it would cease to ache
I'll say I'll always love you
I declare everlasting love
And hold you all night till morning
And hold you throughout the night till dawn
I pray that I'm not just dreaming
I hope I'm not merely in a dream
And endings are, and endings are
And endings signify, and endings signify
And endings are like beginnings
And endings are akin to beginnings
