Lyric:
It seems like this earth is scorched, living life confined to porch
Accomplishments by fire torched, illness and age on me gorge
I do not know what is worse, rot to end or wait for hearse
Proof I’m alive I still nurse, blood is the ink for this verse
Tears are the rain for the pain, scars just drain and make the stain
I’m trapped in an endless night, no dawn no day to take flight
In echoes memories fight, endless debate (of) wrong and right
The lightning strikes my mind’s kite, backsighting grants no respite
Standing on this life’s causeway, I know it sounds so cliche
The peace those waters convey, call me to my own doomsday
So long I tried it your way, swallow loss and pain to stay
But those bullets ever spray, targeting never does sway
Painting me every day, patient skin always to flay
Decades passed without allay, Make ever-mounting dismay
No rescue, so I submerse, you eskew, never reverse
In the silence, write my dirge, no hope remains to resurge
I wanted so much to stay, wanted to be part day-to-day
Family come what may, for this I prayed every day
But I just get in the way, I just seem to with you fray
Cuts me so deep, it’s a wray, nowhere left just go away
Clear me from targeting range, there’s no doubt nothing will change
Still permanently estranged, peace from dismay I exchanged
Rescuing me from this porch, my own earth I will now scorch
No more will I take the scourge, extinguishing my own torch
