Final Curtain

[Verse 1] Yo, the grim reaper creepin', secrets he's keepin' Sleepin' six feet deep, where the worms start leapin' My soul's on the auction, no option, just watchin' Clock tick-tockin', body rockin', then stoppin' Life's a short circuit, a quick flicker, then murk it Dirt hit the casket, a cold, empty basket Used to chase paper, now I'm ghost, just vapor No future endeavors, just forever, no savior [Chorus] Death comin', dum-dum-dummin', ain't no runnin' Skull grinnin', sinnin', then the end is beginnin' One way ticket, no wicket, just crickets Life's a short story, then the glory, just wick it Out like a candle, no handle, just scandal The final curtain, for certain, no burden [Verse 2] Heard tales of the ferryman, scary man, carryin' Souls cross the Styx, no tricks, just marryin' My fate to the darkness, heartless, no harness To pull me from shadows, just meadows of madness Used to plan grand schemes, now just broken daydreams No more ice cream, just a silent, cold stream The world keeps spinnin', winnin', then sinnin' But I'm done with the livin', no givin', just thinnin' [Chorus] Death comin', dum-dum-dummin', ain't no runnin' Skull grinnin', sinnin', then the end is beginnin' One way ticket, no wicket, just crickets Life's a short story, then the glory, just wick it Out like a candle, no handle, just scandal The final curtain, for certain, no burden [Bridge] They say "rest in peace," but my mind won't cease Still chasin' the rhythm, a prism of unease Even in the grave, still a slave to the crave For a rhyme, a last line, a final brave wave [Chorus] Death comin', dum-dum-dummin', ain't no runnin' Skull grinnin', sinnin', then the end is slippin' in One way ticket, no wicket, just crickets No last-minute rescue, no tissue, no fix-it Out like a candle, wick bent, smoke thickenin' The final curtain drops and the whole room go dead still No halo, no comeback, no thrill, just a headstone Stone-cold, name chiseled, then the breath gone
