My Exit In Red

I've bled myself a river red

Well, I'll bleed for you no longer

Time will not be kept my master

My riddled body shakes

The fear inside me breaks

The arrowed tongue beckons me Crawl...

Enslaved my bitter soul

A hundred knives cutting, stabbing

My brittle bones

Ground in the grease of addiction

I've seen the end

Through many miles of long dead road

Leading nowhere

Have I stayed for too long?

Hold fast the moorings break

So frail the chains

You can't heal the wounds I've spent years on

So callous in our shame

Blind to what I hide

Grip the wheel, lead footed

Straight to my demise

No sympathy when the addict dies

I've seen the end

Through many miles of long dead roads

Leading nowhere

Beneath the river bed

A scarlet rive red

Flowing cold from the hole in my head

The lives that we make are only a prelude to our graves

A shell of a man takes his shot

Just one shot to the face

I'm blind to what I need

My resolve fast fading

Stomach knots

Evisceration

My god can't you set me free?

Lord, end this tragedy

I've seen the end

Through many mile of long dead roads Leading me nowhere

Beneath the river bed

A scarlet river red

Flowing cold from the hole in my head

My exit in red

Grant peace to me
