about

Day 13 - Death - "Petrified"

"Today's #quarantune prompt was "death," but we didn't wanna bum everyone out too much so instead of going sad, we went existential! This one's a laid-back, hip hop jam called Petrified."

lyrics

I gotta contemplate
I got a lot a on my plate
The world's scary of late
And everybody's inside
Thinkin' about their fate
'Cause you don't know the date
You've always known it could happen
Any second, but wait
This is different
Something you don't know how to approach
Something you don't understand
Could stomp you out like a roach
And then it's over
Anticlimactic, I know
But this ain't a movie, a book, or a TV show
You are not the protagonist
Who slays the dragon it's
A narrative we tell ourselves
So terror isn't how we live
But we're all just extras
Equal billing with the rest, huh?
This is Game of Thrones
Except nobody wins
And we all turn to stone

See I've been wondering
If anybody else has been hungering
For an understanding
Of the visions that've been thundering
Through the dreams of humanity
Since time immemorial
What are we
When we are no longer corporeal?
It's impossible to know for a fact
'Cause what we lack
Is someone to ask about it
'Cause they don't come back
The more I think about it
The more it couldn't be clearer
That too much thinking about it
Brings it that much nearer
I must remember
None of us is alone
We all share the same fear
Of the unknown
My dry hands crack
But they still bleed, and so I know
I am flesh and not stone
