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 d**h I might outlive you all All those eulogies, all the funeral costs All jokes aside, I simply can't bear the thought Or am I first in line, when the dominoes start to fall? 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
