Apocalypse Now

the gradient is steep
and it's made steeper still
by a lack of encouragement
and subsequent disbelief
and if you can't make it alone
i could carry you
i've got the world on my shoulders
what's one more weight gonna do?

and maybe tonight
we can supersede the suspension
and alleviate the tension
there will be no apprehension tonight

if you can reach me somehow
we can make believe that the apocalypse is now

the book of relevations
never mentioned this
but situations like these
tend to shatter my self-esteem
and no matter how much you blink
you won't miss it
and no matter how much you blink
you won't miss it

and maybe tonight
we can supersede the suspension
and alleviate the tension
there will be no apprehension tonight

if you can reach me somehow
we can make believe that the apocalypse is now
