And its name is...
A melancholy permanence
Is set within my mind
Draining all my knowledge
Evading suicide by time
Sky's the limit
I often hear them say
Unfettered by distinctions
Between dimensions of time and space
Secret greed hides success
Where boundless truth is a lie
Testing the absolute outer limits
Of how much I can endure this time
Criticized, sanitized, institutionalized
An end to your pursuit
Handed off for someone else
To arrange the burial suit
No one wants to dirty their hands
With the undeniable scent of demise
You can't outwit, outrun, or hide
Though til your last breath you try
It lingers in the shadows
The constant without shame
It touches us all and brings an end
And death is its given name
Is set within my mind
Draining all my knowledge
Evading suicide by time
Sky's the limit
I often hear them say
Unfettered by distinctions
Between dimensions of time and space
Secret greed hides success
Where boundless truth is a lie
Testing the absolute outer limits
Of how much I can endure this time
Criticized, sanitized, institutionalized
An end to your pursuit
Handed off for someone else
To arrange the burial suit
No one wants to dirty their hands
With the undeniable scent of demise
You can't outwit, outrun, or hide
Though til your last breath you try
It lingers in the shadows
The constant without shame
It touches us all and brings an end
And death is its given name
