king tot’s lament (Tot Clark) by Oswin (@_quietbatpeople)

It's tough to live forever
Seeing faces come and go
Sometimes I forget this isn't normal
I try not to let it get me though

Faked my death, left my family
And death just never came for me

It doesn't matter, they just go
And I can't stop it, I guess I'll just go

Mountains of ash I can't overcome

And so I strike up on the mound
Time doesn't matter anyway
All my friends are here today
But what comes after?

I lose them fast, I lose them slow
It doesn't matter, they just go
And I can't stop it, I guess I'll just go
On

And so I strike up on the mound
Time doesn't matter anyway
All my friends are here today
But what comes after?

I lose them fast, I lose them slow
It doesn't matter, they just go
And I can't stop it, I guess I'll just...
