There’s a piercing

Just behind her eyes

A sure sign of dying

But not tonight

She wouldn’t go

If it were up to her

Especially if she knew

What kind of reckless heart

He would be

And How he would blame

Everything on how she’d leave

He uses every thought to mourn again

A vicious ferris wheel that never ends

Great sermon, preacher

But nothing changes

A drink, a swear, a heart in chains

And a daughter who needs life to be hard

And friend who ran away into the dark

It’s a shame caring cost so much

Cause a little more saving might help

But you get ten seconds and nothing more

And you’re made to thank the world

For one mere whirl

It’s sad to think

What meets your deepest need

Will never be supplied guaranteed

I suppose if I were in your shoes that I too

Would turn to a can of beer

To do what friends won’t do

Cause that’s a long long time

To be alone and lonely

And nothing’s on TV

That will ever be so good

As to drown out the sheer volume of Mourning that impales you constantly

I see you now sitting helpless then

As she breathed her final breathe

I know for sure that you died too

You couldn’t breathe if not two
