In The Corner
A Raven Black Shadow
A Tired Old Man
Giving Up Tomorrow
Eyes Cried Red
Needle Poked Arms
He Feels The Cuts Bleed
The Heroine Has Lost Its Charms.....
Hallucinations
Are Everywhere He Looks
Tremble Tremble
Wrinkled Hands That Shook
A Picure Can Say A Thousand Words
Words Mean Nothing In The End
As He Repeats His Child's Promise
But His Broken Heart Will Never Mend....
He Smells Strongly Of Whiskey
His Teeth Are Rotting Out
He Fills The Empty Air
With Meaningless Screams And Shouts....
Mumble Mumble
He Talks To Nothing At All
His Low Voice Rumbles
As He Slowly Falls....
Breath Now Staggering And Labored
He Dies In Broken Promises And Lies
As The Frantic Whispers Finally Fade
His Soul Eventually Dies....
The Echoes Reverbrate
The Darkness Takes Him Too
Never Finding What He Loved So Much
If Only We Knew...
