THE TAIL OF EXISTENCE
THE TAIL OF EXISTENCE
You knew it wouldn't ever last forever
The thought never crossed your mind
now it's time to sever this mortal rind
and cease to be a member of mankind
All the tears of strife throughout your life
-DERANGED-DISTRAUGHT-DELUSION-
were nothing but illusion
confiscating countless hours of confusion
---devours pointless powers in conclusion---
No sense within your fading essence
Few words to say in your defense
Time to fail within your persistence
at the tail of existence
You knew it wouldn't ever last forever
The thought never crossed your mind
now it's time to sever this mortal rind
and cease to be a member of mankind
All the tears of strife throughout your life
-DERANGED-DISTRAUGHT-DELUSION-
were nothing but illusion
confiscating countless hours of confusion
---devours pointless powers in conclusion---
No sense within your fading essence
Few words to say in your defense
Time to fail within your persistence
at the tail of existence
