Around The Bend

This is one I've had in the chamber for a while; I've had the first 90 seconds for at least 6 months at this point. It wasn't until this morning that I wrote lyrics/melody for the chorus, added a second verse and bridge, and figured out how it ends.
The lyrics are basically the same "we're doomed and it's your fault" stuff I've been writing lately for some reason, can't quite put my finger on why, what could it be... but it's FAWM so I'm not worrying too much about improving them at the moment. The point is to finish something, and I did.
Lyrics
no one wants to be here
no one can get out
everyone is waiting
everyone's so proud
of all our grand excuses
all the things we've tried
really nothing much is done
and yet we do survive
[chorus]
yeah, it's over
but it doesn't end
yeah, we're going over
just around the bend
no one knows what's happening
narrative has died
everything's too much now
so we'll just hide inside
we won't even bother
to wave our fists and shout
yelling at each other
while we just wait it out
[chorus]
[bridge]
oh, we used to fight
oh, walk towards the light
we believed the lies
fell too far to rise

This has always been a banger. Great additions to get this over the line.

What I think would be cool to hear you play with more is the doubled vox panned it would be interesting to hear the stereo space filled with different vocal melodies more than two one left one right one center different octaves or melodies or both
