the ultimate demise

How stupid it is, indeed

When we take our pills

And take in our sunshine

Just to die all the same?

The ultimate demise is when

You suddenly fall to the ground

And feel something crack

Then feel and think nothing

The ultimate demise is when

BANG! it resounds in your skull

And then a flash of regret

That'll mean nothing

The ultimate demise is when

"Ack!" the knife buries itself in you

And you bleed out your life in agony

Laying on the floor alone

The ultimate demise is when

You've been dead and buried

And the maggots are crawling into your eye sockets

And worms out of your nose and ears

The ultimate demise is when

You're dead and buried

And your gravestone is weathered down

You're forgotten for eternity

And that

Is truly the ultimate demise

They say one lives on until the world forgets their name

In that sense, you have met your end

You have truly died---

You have met your ultimate demise.
