Eternity
[Verse 1: Savan DePaul]
I spent years grappling the concept of eternity
As a mere mortal, it burns me certainly
I mustn’t fret with mortality and expiration
So this is my dedication to shuffle off mortal coils
I’ve been spoiled with the gift of cellular respiration
And high levels of education
Yet a sense of a nauseating paralysis engulfs
A clamoring impulse for answers that have all been slammed up in a vault
Oh, scandalous DePaul
I’ve always thought of myself as divine
I’ve always thought of myself as divine
But I recall the name supreme organism
The greatest oxymoron I ever crafted
Powerful yet destined to collapse into ashes
What’s a god to do when even he can't seem to exist?
Life stripped from him like a thief in the mist
Can’t save my own being, all seeing
Couldn’t catch this in peripheral scope
Thanks for killing my hope
If I could front a demigod now, I’d be wringing his throat
I’m pleading to lowly humans for solutions
Before the natural executions
Waiting for that answer has me stressed
And if you're still listening, God bless
[Verse 2: Alec Murray]
I can see you down there, wondering if your breath of air will affect you
Or the world around
You feel insignificant
I can hear and feel your words
But they have no color or sweet sound
Try to lift your spirits up, don’t let them fall to the ground
I can hear your prayers when you feel to be empty
Let me help you ever so gently
Death is not an end, just a new beginning
New set of clothes, a halo and a voice for singing
You need to relax your being
For our bodies are just vessels
And our soul is what it carries
For our soul can never truly die, just received by our Mother Mary
