It's taken me fifty thousand separate wrecks to get here   And I've learned, I've learned absolutely nothing   As I'm standing here alone, upright and motionless   And I'm drowning in her sea      The rising and sinking   Of every consciousness I've ever known   Now detached, disconnected      The endless cycle of idea and action   Endless invention, endless experiment   Endless hope, endless disappointment      And I thought all I needed was just one breath to stay afloat   For me it was like, like the breath, the last breath   The last breath that I never wanted, any of this      I never thought that this would capsize   But this isn't a boat, it's a coffin   And now I'm moving forward   Into the sea, into the great sea      So I begin with the end in mind   So I begin with the end in mind   So I begin with the end in mind   So I begin with the end in mind      So I begin with the end in mind   So I begin with the end in mind      Cycles of heaven, twenty centuries gone by   Twenty centuries gone by, come home   Cycles of heaven, twenty centuries gone by   Twenty centuries gone by, come home      Cycles of heaven, twenty centuries gone by   Twenty centuries gone by, come home   Cycles of heaven, twenty centuries gone by   Twenty centuries gone by, come home      The end is coming like a flood   It's going to be a year for growing   And the greatest amount of forgetting      My sea is dying but death is a doorway   And at the very root of me I know this   And at the very root of me I know this, I know this      It's the greatest reminder   What a broad world to roam in   What a sea to swim in, what a sea to swim in      So I begin with the end in mind   So I begin with the end in mind   So I begin with the end in mind   So I begin with the end in mind      So I begin with the end in mind   So I
