Soundtrack for the apocalypse and endings to simulations. Tracks must be related to one or the other, even if loosely. I'll spin something up and get us started. Let's go out with a bang!!!

Spoiler: Deftones - Ceremony Lyrics

How can't you see this is the end?
Let's face the truth, it's obvious
A different morning, the same charade
Tell me, what's left?

It's an illusion
It's all an illusion

Prep the surface, bound my limbs
Place the chair beneath the rail
On the outside, just skin and bones
Show me, what's left?

It's an illusion
It's all an illusion

So I'm leaving you tonight
It's not fun here anymore
I'll be joining the parade
Of the ghosts who came before
Before leaving you complete, no surprise
With one kiss, one caress, ooh

Ooh, the world we shared
Ooh, it was never there, ooh

I'm leaving you tonight
It's not fun here anymore
I'm joining the parade
Of the ghosts before
Leaving you complete for all time
With one kiss, one caress, ooh

Spoiler: Deftones - Urantia Lyrics

I slipped into the cloak you left
I fiddle around in the ashtray
To find your cigarette pinkish red
I light it and take a drag

I swear I'm losing it
With all these erased recordings, I'm rearranging parts
You should accept
We'll probably remain this way to the end, in steps

Underneath the sheets, I find your
Makeup and shoes in a bag laid open
Grab my keys and some money
And circle around the lake

I guess you're losing it
I like to believe that maybe you're a lot likе me
Try using this equality we might need in thе air

'Cause there are no more left like you
A picture-perfect strange
Imagined in one shape
Unchained

Tempt my spirit within my name
We crawled in the tomb and release some honey
Eighteen hundred million ways striving to make it last

There is no one left like you
A picture-perfect strange
Imagined in one shape
Unchained

There are no more thrills I'll need
Than the desire that we shared
From the channels of our dreams
To the grave

I'll find you again somewhere, I believe
You'll find me somewhere again, I believe

Spoiler: Deftones - Error Lyrics

Tell me something
Have we escaped?
Are we just lost?
The mirrors taunting us against the walls

We are running across the grid
Chasing honey and closing in

We're bound together
In neon tape
I taste in your mouth
We hang upside down

We are gliding above the planes
Dripping honey that prances through our veins

Beyond the gates
Outside the grid
We follow in your grace
Let's find a way through

Shiny candy
Glowing fruits
Drop from the trees
I watch the sеrpents writhe benеath

We are floating above the grid
Dripping honey that's rushing through our veins

Beyond the gates
Outside the grid
We follow in your grace
But someday
The clouds will break
And we'll all drift through

In lions' trance
We'll create some way through

Frozen in time
Sinking underground
I've thrown out fear
I've shouted these hymns
I kept drowning
Kept nothing
I kept trying
Kept floating

Spoiler: Deftones - The Spell Of Mathematics Lyrics

I drink the poison right from your hands
A sacred vow, it engulfs me
We slip and we slide and in time, we create
A feeling
Of warmth inside of you

Holy and strict
Six times a day
We will exchange
Our violent wings
But the beauty is when
You touch me

I believe your love
Has placed its spell on me
And I believe your love
Is the only thing needed to survive
I believe your love
Creates this space whеre we can breathе
But I believe your love
Beholds this sacred key to life

The snakes come pouring out of your heart
And you know that I can't deny them
So I sink inside where we writhe and create
That feeling that pangs my time with you

We sway in the wind
Inside a haze
Where you speak your language
What am I to say?
I'll just wait for your limbs
To touch me

I believe your love
Has placed its spell on me
And I believe your love
Is the only thing needed to survive
I believe your love
Creates this space where we can breathe
I believe your love
Beholds this sacred key to life

Spoiler: Deftones - Pompeji Lyrics

Deep in the bottomless depths of the ocean
Empty bodies, we sink
Open your eyes, you smile and release me
We slip down beneath and

Jesus Christ, you watch us fail
We raise our glasses and drink in hell

Locked in the core of the tower, I'm patient
In no hurry to leave
Life has been lonely, it might be forever
Making hard to believe in

Jesus Christ, we hold you to blame
You gave your life, but we died in vain

And ooh, we drink from the fountain of intent
And ooh, we choke on the water, then repent

In the street, violent behavior
In chaos, where it's warm
Black omens call, our cage is electric
So we signal, we wait for

Jesus Christ, God raised you as
We raised our glasses and drank in hell

Ooh, we sip from the fountain of intent
And ooh, we choke on the water, then repent
Ooh, we drink from the fountain of intent
Ooh, we choke on the water, then repent

Spoiler: Deftones - This Link Is Dead Lyrics

Thanks, you want action?
Yeah, I'm aware which form you think I should try
That shit means nothin'
You see, I'm done
Right now I think it's time that you know
Pay attention
Watch me close
As I decide which fucking way I move

I'm filled up with true hatred

No, that don't work
You would swear you're why I am here
That don't mean nothing
There's nothing wrong
I can choose how this will unfold
And I feel like fire, but my heart is cold
Open your eyes, you'll see this shit's no fun

'Cause I'm filled up with true hatred
And I relate to no one
It's a useless game

I'm slowly crashing down
You snap your fingers and you think I'll respond
Fuck, I will never need your guide
Someday, yeah, you can show me, right?
That shit means nothing
You see, I'm done
Take your ideas and fucking have some fun

You're on your own
You're on your own
You should, you should

Look deep inside
You might see I'm just fine
Look close, close inside
Don't miss this moment, you may never get back
I'll show you something, something prized
Well, you were there, you think you know what it's like?
I have no patience now for expectation, wow
Fuck this shit, leave me alone

You're on your own
You're on your own
I'm sure, I'm sure
Oh

Spoiler: Deftones - Radiant City Lyrics

There's something inside this
Confusion we face
We marvel in silence
As time ticks away

Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it's so close
Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it's close

Sit lonely inside these
Delusions we face

Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it's so close
Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it's close

No one alive has taken me here
Nothing I've tried will replace your tricks
If ever I choose to break in again
Promise me now you'll follow me in, into

A moment of conscience
Then shock to the head

Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it is so close
Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it's close

We marvel in silence
Let time tick away

Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it's so close
Where's the ledge?
I can't touch it
But I feel it's close

No one alive has taken me here
Nothing I tried replaced your tricks
Whenever I choose to break in again
Promise me now you will follow me in
'Cause nobody else cuts me the same
You've pulled me into a permanent trance
If ever you choose to break in again
I promise you now, I'll follow you in
Promise you now, I'll follow you in

Spoiler: Deftones - Headless Lyrics

I think it's obvious we are a mess
We cut against the grain
It's contagious how we live
If you're curious of the valiance I can show you, wait

'Cause I forget all of this is obvious

We're entirely insane, they claim
They wanna climb into our brain waves

I know you're wondering
How the two of us, we adapt these traits
I can teach you how we play
And you're curious how the brilliance controls you, wait

'Cause I forget all of this is obvious

We're entirely insane, they claim
They'd like to violate our brain waves

You seek desire
(Stop, think, show what you fear)
Our desire
(Stop, think, dying out there)
But

Ooh, your attempt is useless
Ooh, your attempt is useless

Sway from the top off the ledge
Swim in a bottomless lake, it's true

We are entirely insane, we'd claim
You'd like to dive into our brain waves

You seek desire
(Stop, think, show what you fear)
Our desire
(Got made, flying out there)
Real desire
(Stop, think, shows we're losing)
True desire
(Stop, think I'm nowhere)

Ooh, your attempt is useless
Ooh, your attempt is useless

Spoiler: Deftones - Ohms Lyrics

We're surrounded by debris of the past
And it's too late to cause a change in the tides
So we slip into our hopeless sea of regret as I stare

Through the haunted maze in your eyes
Right through where I'll remain for all time

And time won't change this
This promise we made
Yeah, the time won't change this
It's how it'll stay

This is our time, we devour the days ahead
We've been possessed by these changing times
As we slip on through, we promised to meet again somewhere

Through the haunted maze in our minds
Right through where we shall remain for all time

Yeah, time won't change this
This promise we made
And time won't change this
We shall remain

Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

Spoiler: The clash - London Calling Lyrics

London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come outta' the cupboard, ya' boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

The ice age is coming, the sun's zoomin' in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growin' thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
Cause London is drownin', I, live by the river

(London calling) to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holdin' out and draw another breath
London calling and I don't want to shout
But while we were talking I saw you noddin' out
London calling, see we ain't got no Hyde
'Cept for that one with the yellowy eyes

The ice age is coming, the sun's zoomin' in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growin' thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
Cause London is drowning, I, I live by the river

The ice age is coming, the sun's zoomin' in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growin' thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
Cause London is drowning, I, I live by the river

Now get this

(London calling), yes, I was there, too
And ya' know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
(London calling) at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?
(London calling)

I never felt so much alike alike alike

Spoiler: Cigarettes After Sex - Apocalypse Lyrics

You leapt from crumbling bridges watching cityscapes turn to dust
Filming helicopters crashing in the ocean from way above

Got the music in you baby, tell me why
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
You've been locked in here forever and you just can't say goodbye

Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers wrapped in your arms
You've been hiding them in hollowed out pianos left in the dark

Got the music in you baby, tell me why
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
You've been locked in here forever and you just can't say goodbye

Your lips, my lips
Apocalypse
Your lips, my lips
Apocalypse
Go and sneak us through the rivers
Flood is rising up on your knees
Oh, please
Come out and haunt me, I know you want me
Come out and haunt me

Sharing all your secrets with each other since you were kids
Sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you clutched in your fist

Got the music in you baby, tell me why
Got the music in you baby, tell me why
You've been locked in here forever and you just can't say goodbye
You've been locked in here forever and you just can't say goodbye

Oh, when you're all alone
I will reach for you
When you're feeling low
I will be there too

Spoiler: The Doors - The End Lyrics

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes again

Can you picture what will be?
So limitless and free
Desperately in need
Of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's Highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake, he's long, seven miles
Ride the snake
He's old and his skin is cold
The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here and we'll do the rest
The blue bus is calling us
The blue bus is calling us
Driver, where you taking us?

The killer awoke before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door
And he looked inside
"Father?" "Yes, son?" "I want to kill you"
"Mother? I want to..."

Come on baby, take a chance with us
Come on baby, take a chance with us
Come on baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Of the blue bus, on the blue bus, on the blue bus
Come on yeah
Fuck, fuck-ah, yeah
Fuck, fuck
Fuck, fuck
Fuck, fuck, fuck yeah!
Come on baby, come on baby
Fuck me baby, fuck yeah
Woah
Fuck, fuck, fuck, yes!
Fuck, yeah, come on baby
Fuck me baby, fuck fuck
Woah, woah, woah, yeah
Fuck yeah, do it, yeah
Come on!
Huh, huh, huh, huh, yeah
Alright
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end

Neat. Deftones' stuff were among the first songs I learned to play on guitar. And now since I've been neglecting to practice guitar, they are among the only songs I can still play

oh well my contribution, somewhat commensurate with the end of the world theme. the only way to fix it is to flush it all away

learn to swim
