Thanatophobia (An End To It All)

Sure, everyone's afraid of dying to some extent
and the older I get, the more I’m made aware.
It’s bad enough to have to worry about my personal health
than to include all those other hazards out there.
A nuclear holocaust? A terrible earthquake?
A speeding asteroid to suddenly fall?
There can be thousands of potential perils and pitfalls,
to happen to me, to somehow bring about, an end to it all.

So I’ve seemed to dodge that twenty twelve bullet
but over time, it was like pulling off an eleventh hour theft.
And many have gone so far as to relax their awareness
ignoring any and all the signs that have never really left.
Problems don’t go away just because they’re ignored,
they’ll come back, and eventually they’re gonna call;
so it’s fix it now or later, or lose it, but either way,
it’s courting danger, of bringing about, an end to it all.

Apprehension and feelings that I’m here trapped
and there’s no way to get out of this mess.
It’s the anxiety that I’m dealing with; the end of the world,
that “Game Over” sense of hopelessness.
There’s a mindset – whatever happens is gonna happen
but I’m overwhelmed, my defenses slowed down to a crawl,
and there is nothing so much to be feared as fear itself
when you’re helpless, without hope, worried about, an end to it all.

Don’t I have enough problems to deal with right now
without indoctrination by some sly psychological force?
Manipulative minds out there, keen to distort the truth
producing feelings of fear, guilt and remorse.
Then there’s Armageddon rolling over the middle east,
and when forces are breaking through the city wall
I’m on my knees in prayer for the Second Coming
as Gog and Magog, work to bring about, an end to it all.
