It'll All Be Worth It

(album: Rockabye - 2023)

I hoped that you'd die in blissful ignorance
Like the rest of the world
But I figured you deserved an explanation

Have you ever wondered why
This world has gone to fucking garbage
Take one good look around
And tell me who looks happy

I always knew that I could
Make this world a better place
If I could make it disappear forever

I come from a good place
And that good place is where my heart is
I call beyond the veil
For death to come and grab me

My pappy always told me
Hell is only for the living
When you're gone
Your link to strife is severed

Nobody has to suffer
Save the planet if you love her
It'll all be worth it once you're dead

I have to tell you
How impressed I am with all your writing
Your creativity
Is utterly astounding

I have to wonder if
You knew what I was planning all along
Because you're clearly
Very clever

You have to ask yourself
What enemy you should be fighting
I'm sure you realize
When you look at your surroundings

I know you're all for freedom
So you understand how hard it is
To find a way to be
Untethered

Nobody has to suffer
Save the planet if you love her
It'll all be worth it once you're dead

And the dominos fall
Lined up and carefully placed
Stacked one by one down the hall
Crashing with purpose and grace

The effect will continue
To make the next fall on it's face

Every step of the way
I made sure to be precise
There was just
Far too much at stake

Couldn't be just a man
That would simply not suffice
There was
Far too much at stake

And there was you
You brilliant kids I had to catch
You were the few
That went unmatched

My pappy was miserable
For he was slowly dying
Each morning he would wake
And beg for god to take it all away

And then in agony he told me

Nobody has to suffer
Save the planet if you love her
It'll all be worth it once you're dead

I have to thank you all
For guiding my plan to fruition
I simply could not have
Done all of this without you

I promise in the end
Your efforts will be worth it
You will find that once it's over
It gets better

I'm sorry that I tricked ya
I won't lie I'm gonna miss ya
But it'll all be worth it
Once you're dead

It will all be worth it once you're dead
