And I know I know
I know the end is near
And I know
because the storm clouds
have appeared
Upon your brow
when I come around
The lightning in your eyes
could burn me down
And I know I know
I worry way too much
And I know you wish
I wasn't so affixed
To this affliction of our time
It's impossible to appreciate
a life flash before our eyes
I was six years old learning
how to swim
Then I was 36 wondering
how I sunk
It's as if the record jumped
And I know you wish
I was here in the now
Taking stock in the fact
you're still hanging around
And I truly do
I'm just truly freaking out
I truly believe the sky
is falling down
I know I know
I know the end is near
And I know I know it's all
downhill from here
We're all cascading
to our graves
Tugging back at gravity's reigns
And I know I know the end
will swallow us whole
And I know
because well that's just
how it goes
We all erode eventually
I don't believe the fairy tale
of our eternity
That carrot dangled through
our youth
It didn't seem a tad obscene
Your grandparents and pets
waiting for you
It scares me to death
I might outlive you all
All those eulogies
all the funeral costs
All jokes aside
I simply can't bear
the thought
And I know I know
I know the end is near
And I know I know
you're going to disappear
I'll turn away and poof
you're gone
This life's a dirty prick
but still I'm glad to be put upon
