"The Avalanche Of Our Demise" lyrics

It's happening before our eyes
The avalanche of our demise
Glacial enough to shrug it off
Never mind the ticking clock
Besides, you're totally swamped today
This apocalypse will have to wait

What's gonna stop it anyway?
Rogue waves and hurricanes
Isn't that what a checkbook's for?
Disaster relief du jour

At the beginning of the end
Will you recognize
If your world's not quite right?
At the beginning of the end
Will you run and hide
Or sleep in?

I heard the earthquake news today
It registered 7.8
All of the reverberations
Barely made it to my pen

When do we ever recognize?
When do we run for our lives?
When it's in our own backyard
When the roads get torn apart

At the beginning of the end
Will it look like this
Feel reminiscent?
At the beginning of the end
Will we all collapse
Or raise a glass?

At the beginning of the end
Will we even know?
Maybe a ready, set, go!
At the beginning of the end
When the virus takes hold
When that red button's pushed
When the volcano flows
It's the beginning of the end
And my heart might explode

I'm going up in the tornado
This house afloat in a tornado
I'm off to distant lands
Where there's no avalanche
There's no beginning and no end
