“I know the end” is taken from Punisher (2020).

Somewhere in Germany, but I can’t place it Man, I hate this part of Texas Close my eyes, fantasize Three clicks, and I’m home

When I get back I’ll lay around And I’ll get up and lay back down Romanticize a quiet life There’s no place like my room

But you had to go I know, I know, I know Like a wave that crashed and melted on the shore Not even the burnouts are out here anymore And you had to go I know, I know, I know

Out in the park, we watch the sunset Talking on a rusty swing set After awhile you went quiet, and I got mean I’m always pushing you away from me But you come back with gravity And when I call, you come home A bird in your teeth

So I gotta go I know, I know, I know When the sirens sound, you’ll hide under the floor But I’m not gonna go down with my hometown in a tornado I’m gonna chase it I know, I know, I know I gotta go now I know, I know, I know

Driving out into the sun Let the ultraviolet cover me up Went looking for a creation myth Ended up with a pair of cracked lips

Windows down, scream along To some America first rap, country song A slaughterhouse, an outlet mall Slot machines, fear of God

Windows down, heater on Big bolts of lightning hanging low Over the coast, everyone’s convinced It’s a government drone or an alien spaceship

Either way, we’re not alone I’ll find a new place to be from A haunted house with a picket fence To float around and ghost my friends No, I’m not afraid to disappear The billboard said, “The end is near” I turned around, there was nothing there Yeah, I guess the end is here

The end is here

The end is here

The end is here

The end is here
