Dead Balance

Scream, bang, thud. No, not so fast, you've got nowhere to go. Let's step into the past of just a few minutes ago. Yes, you can see a steel in my eyes to know that you can't beat the demon in me. I think you understand that now you'll never be free. Blood's on your hands, look at what you've done. Stealing money for drugs - how did that kill someone? Look down at her - LOOK at what you've done! Young girl who took a wrong turn to face you with your gun! Guilt's running in your mind, excuses you can't find. Confusion's reigning in, your mind's turning on you. The walls are closing in, there is no way through. The problem you face is now a different one You made the mistake of your killing being witnessed by one You lacked the thought and foresight to plan on any outcome I'm a man who can't sleep because of what I've done. I'm a man who has killed many in the work that I've done Instead of crawling the walls in the madness of one I use my skills to locate people like you who do what you've done With a duty to protect my country and its good people from anyone I hereby conclude my report on the damage you've done Give me the gun or I'll take it from you. Give it freely to me and I'll make it quick for you. Yes that's right hand it over to me. Bang, thud.....bang! Never again will you hurt anyone.
