The Narrow House

The Narrow House
You can't evade
The time will come
When the price is paid
By your choosing 
Or by another's hand
A victim of fate
Or meticulously planned
No matter
The outcome is all the same
In the Narrow House
Destined to remain

A calling card
You may or may not get
But don't visit the Narrow House
Burdoned with regret
Carpe diem
Is the popular phrase
An edict, a motivation
For every one of your days
So at the moment
Of the very last sigh
You look back with a smile
And not a tear in your eye

At the final curtain call
We are all the same 
The Narrow House cares not
For your title, creed or name
There's nothing to take with you
So make the memories now
Keep the call of the Narrow House
At bay, somehow
But hey, live every moment
The future's not worth a look
About that eternal boxy place
Simply don't give a fuck
