Eternal life is scary

Eternal life is scary
Like parking meters trailing off into the distance
After a million, there'd be a billion more
Never could you shut the door
To this great lie of existence
Death is the end of all things
Of breathing, living human beings
Everything you love so much
Everything you've ever touched
Everything you've ever felt
Every prayer you said when knelt
Every smile upon your face
In this stinking pile of human race
The joy you took but never gave
Will follow you to your eternal grave
The mortician didn't even bother to shave
To the ground you are a slave
To become one again with your master
The dirt in the ground, decomposing faster
But forever was a scary thought
After a million years, there would be a billion more
But how many would there be after that daddy
A trillion more son
I'm scared daddy
It's OK son, I love you and Jesus loves you too
Thanks daddy, I love you too
But I somehow still feel scared inside
There is no Easter Bunny
No Santa Clause, nothin's funny
I don't want to die daddy
I know son, it's gonna be OK
Thanks daddy, I love you
But is it really gonna be OK, I just don't know
So I stay distracted by the show
Many years have passed me by
I'm getting too damn tired to try
Feel I'm slippin' into my grave
They say that Hell is one big rave
Dancing flames inside a cave
Slowly being relieved of my own personal Hell
Soon I'll feel nothing, not even swell
I'll be rejoined with those that I love
On streets of gold up above
Or so I've been told, and thought I believed
But the sum total of human existence
Has shown me that much of what I learned growing up was a lie
Like the way I thought I'd never die
I'm too tired to fucking sigh
I can still muster a wet teared cry
One day I'll have to say good bye
But you are with me here now my love
Carress my soul with your voice like a dove
Please me with your baby face
Show me all your frilly lace
Almondine, gelatine, serpantine, beauty queen
I want to be your everything
