Red Tar

In the moment of truth

I stuck with the lie

Got lost in the smoke

Became a slave

To a weak mind

Need to kill a hawk

Need to steal some wings

Blood like red tar

Overdosed on cynicism

Swept under and drowned

Lured in by a siren

I ran my ship aground

Slash of talon

Glimpse of Venus

Tidal waves crashing down

Need to kill a hawk

Need to steal some wings

Grief crawls in the shadow of time

Try to keep in mind

It's all finite.
