    From its inception, The End and the Beginning was meant to be the most hopeful and acoustic-sounding Drownbeat album yet, and that is exactly what it has become. Unlike the first two Drownbeat releases, which utilized many different songwriters and vocalists, The End and the Beginning was written by only two people: Dan Milligan and Bill Acuña of Chicago’s Despotic Hall of Fame. In addition, the lengthy list of performers was replaced with a small group of musicians, giving it a much more intimate and band-like feeling than the first two albums. And while it’s not necessarily a “concept album” in the traditional sense, the songs on the album are very tightly bound together with a common theme. The result is Drownbeat’s most consistent musical offering to date.

lyrics

When my eyes grew tired, turned from blue to red
I would rest them on your softest head
Now our lives have changed, gone from day to night
Never giving up in our endless fights
All the ups & downs in our day to day
All the sudden shouts and the screams exhaled
Choose your words carefully ‘cos I fear just what you’ll say
Let’s not waste our time in this worthless game

We can start again
If we give a little time to make things right
our love will grow again

Once you promised me all my heart desired
And you swore to me that you’d treat me right
Now your words have changed, gone from truth to lies
Never adding up, not one verified
What we’ve given up, what we still do need
How I felt inside when you wounded me
If said anything it’s really not what it seemed
Life is wasting time in apologies

We can start again
If we give a little time to make things right
our love will grow again

If I wanted wings that would scale the heights
Would you hold them back? Would you stop my flight?
But you grounded me and my willingness
Wings can’t carry us, only love and faith
Cannot breathe when we’re always on attack
Cannot love someone who won't love me back
How can I trust anything or guess what you mean?
But you burned us down, burned our history

We can start again
If we give a little time to make things right
our love will grow again
