From the recording 50 Year Old Fossil
Not apocalyptic — just honest. About aging, time speeding up, and the quiet dread we all carry but rarely admit.

Verse 1
Mother Nature’s crying,
Hollering for help.
People just walk by,
Thinking of themselves.
The temperature’s rising,
Boiling afternoon —
Get your shit together,
The end is coming soon.
⸻
Verse 2 (finalized version)
Politicians are arguing,
The same old tune.
People standing by,
Don’t know what to do.
The hunger for power
Destroys the soul.
Pack your bags and pray,
The end is coming soon.
⸻
Bridge
Lord have mercy
On a sinner’s soul.
And if He ain’t there,
We’ve got no place to go.
We’ll leave this mortal plane,
Where the dinosaurs used to roam —
The end is coming soon.
⸻
Verse 3
People are marching,
Holding signs.
While others are dying
For petty crimes.
Unless you’ve been Black,
You’ll never really know —
The end is coming soon.
