The Time Being (Impending Mortality Awareness Society)

(albüm: Bravado - 2020)

The Impending Mortality Awareness Society
Meets twice a week, do or die
'Cause time is of the essence
So they gather in its presence

They won't refer to last week's minutes
They are now gone, goodness knows
There is no rewinding
It's the sentiment they keep finding

Every membership vote is unanimous
To reject, regret, when asked why the say
"Thievery is limiting"
They check their bucket lists for the next thing

In pairs, they share their fears out loud
Things that will never come, never come
They keep themselves accountable
Remind each other how fear is wasteful

At the end of each meeting they huddle up
Off into the week, they say, "Good luck
Do what you can and it will be enough
Tell everyone that you know that you love them"

The Impending Mortality Awareness Society
Meets twice a week, and you're all welcome
'Cause time is of the essence
More than finishing a sentence of
Penance and repentance
Births, funerals, or weddings
