End Of The World
A lot of people--I mean a lot of people!--have been writing songs about the virus pandemic we're unfortunately still suffering through, as of late May, 2020. Me, I wanted to go a different route. A lot of people act as if this is the end of the world, so I wanted to write a song about a fantasy, post-apocalyptic world where a mother is trying to soothe her child while spreading some wisdom to her child about all the nothingness that's left out there. It's more general, not virus-based. I like it and feel it's rather poetic; turned out nicely.

(Chorus)
It's all right, child
It's just the end of the world
We knew this day would be coming
And we'll stand and face the judgment
We'll watch sanity let free and come unfurled
But it's all right, child
It's just the end of the world
V1
I wonder what life was like before the fall of man
I recall a dream that I once never had
A false memory implanted, when we walked hand in hand
No sickness, no starvation, no decaying land
V1 (part 2)
Close your eyes, child, reality will float away
You won't have to see the horrors we have to face
Squint and squeeze, pretend to sleep, 'til it starts to fade
And hope the world will change before you wake
For this, I pray
(Chorus)
V2
And all the music sounds now of wheezing toxic air
As you take one last gasp tryin' to dance free of care
The ankles' toll is doublefold, the weight you have to bear
Seeking help to carry you, realize no one's there
Just empty chairs
(Chorus)
V3
The last ilk on earth they dream it's just a dream
Hoping nothing's dire or drastic as it seems
Hope and wish and make a fist and swing at everything
If they can't see you die, at least they'll hear you scream
And life's a thief
(Chorus)
