Heartbeats and the Fear of Death

Life is so short But you wear trousers a blazer and a tie You make money and drive by Watch the news you are sad some random people died You are still too important to die You have a dream to keep you alive And god to count you more breaths than time Because those that died didn't have your tie 4 billion years ago the world was made not even a fraction ago and man was made And now the world is a man made drain The beauty and the pain Global warming and a mattress But still you cannot cure death Through the generations alive Billions have cried then died To the future we all are dead To your children they mourn at your grave A skull on a flag a cemetery on a map The beauty of death made art I know its not normal to think about death But death is normal even in perfect health The truism that we all gonna die And every birthday a countdown to the grave Second by minute by inch till it's six feet under their feet It is sad to watch the world go by Celebrating life just to forget we are dead In a thousand years your life wont mean much But thank God you got kids and the kids got kids Because as long man still exists We achieve a species dream To die for man to keep living Open link for Audio exclusives https://soundcloud.com/moses-c-chach
