Last Ride, the Crow
Sitting in the corner looking out my window
Is it real this time or just a shadow
I spot that old black crow
Then I for sure truly know
A new bottle whiskey comforting me
Who is that coming up fast upon me I see
Another demon searching for me again
From a blurry haze I raise my lingering chin
The reaper has his scythe pointed right at my heart
Is this the true breaking point trying to tear it all apart
A longing still burning in my old lost soul
Same familiar stinging and gaping hole
My mind lost of all thoughts shared
Pondering if anyone ever truly cared
Slip right into my own personal fantasy
My grand and cherished escape from reality
The only words that matter are the ones left unspoken
And the only true good ones left are ever so broken
Looking into the mirror reflecting the one I've become
Painfully and slowly fading all who have gone and have come
Once friends turned enemies
Such as remaining memories
The one me no longer dwells here
Emotionless the only feeling left fear
Fear for who I am from this point on
The one I once was back then is now gone
Faded away such as my empathy
For all cruel people left no more sympathy
If this is the end of me
Just let it all just be
Let me burn out with pride
As I take my very last ride
A sad song I ride put on to
So goodbye I now say to you
