Bad trip and dying return on investment

Authors note: Blood is the birth right, hell is a victim of pending results past due paid in full on a cross planted on a hill above a hero dying in a bed alone.

Baby miss you more than life itself
insanity plays on a mind between reality
and pain relieved

You are gonna die son


Squeeze off two rounds


Between the eyes


Goes down laughing


But does not


Die


 


Screams fill a head on the death row


Bars clanging wild with hell in tow


Preacher talking slow


Into the vale of death


Not your time


 


 


Fingers reach for my hand as day reaches for night


Passion grown colder than the rock resting my head


Please takes me past the corner of hate bending edges


Frame stops once a soul lays its self out for fate


Barren walls keep a mind free from the gold waiting


No pristine developed play in devil wish holding past


Lady keeps me in her head pushing past hope of return


Streams of convince come forward in winding love burned


 


Tender box feeds the train of flame destroyed in halcyon


Trips mixed from the drip of tube easing final pain


From angel to demons creasing mental images a flame


Pet peeve deceive all fates relentless push into oblivion


River runs red streams in flawless dreams of life’s pending death


 


Palette mixes sky to water blend wine breaks a hold on truth


Dinner for two in a candle burning for soul reprieve visited


Making a way only law will not allow a special reprieve


Harder each day for the pain to fade into reality left alone


 


Somewhere she holds another


Bed cold as old passes


Drawn images pale


Cross above dead


Passes for promise


Faith holds true


 


Last meal comes goes


Needle grows large


Deal the cards


Die fall


Choice


Life


 


Bars gone but the soul still weeps


As remainder to the place and time


Wisdom and truth take clear


Yet in the solitude of hurt


Someone will pay for the torment


Broken fill in the grave with dirt


Body moves back to the bed


Slow drip of morphine


Passes another holding
