Nonpoint
The Shortest Ending
When will the pages stop turning?
How could there possible be this many?
My fingers are burning from turning
What feels like a million pages for me
Makes no difference to me
I'm up to me knees with miles to go
No way to really know
What's left to find out about a character
Lending his life to the shortest ending

Is this the end will the story finally come end?
Is this the end will the story finally

It's the longest way to the shortest ending
It's the longest way to the shortest ending

Arguments, happiness, lie with a smile
Popularity contests and miracle miles
Of traveling, weather for days
Skies were a blaze
One thousand degrees even under the shade
Trying everything just to finish this
It's taking everything to keep from giving this
All up for a chance to see
The beginning and shortest ending
Is this the end will the story finally come end?
Is this the end will the story finally

It's the longest way to the shortest ending
It's the longest way to the shortest ending

No matter how hard I try to deny
It denies me a hundred times more
I could say everything right
I'm still going to be wrong
Just like I was before
Well I'm starting the story again
Understand the way this will end
Will still be an end loose from pretending
We will when we know that we won't
Saying you do when you know that you don't

Is this the end will the story finally come end?
Is this the end will the story finally
(It's the longest way to the shortest ending)

It's the longest way to the shortest ending
It's the longest way to the shortest ending
