Mystery of Life&Death

Put on this earth to do nothing but sit
Im a vessel
One that will one day quit

Quit with a swift stop to the heart
I might see it coming
But id rather not

Not see it creeping towards me
Id rather feel no pain
I dont want to know what its like
When the repair is near

Slowly coming for me
Why this, why now
Id rather not die cause I dont know how

How it will end and what happens next
No more chapters to be written
No more pages to turn

Will I know I am gone or fall into a sleep
Its a question I want answered
But I have yet to find the key

That unlocks the door where that answer hides
Id rather know now
Than die and find out
