Something Borrowed
See the barrel
pick it up
cock it back
down on your luck.
aim for that
pull it good
one shot
do what you should.
borrow a bullet
steal the gun
aim to kill
on the run.
no looking back
no sorrow for the dead
laugh maniacly
not one tear to shed.
thoughts drive you to this dark place
sit and boil
grin at the kill
no time to recoil.
settle in
its a long night
get cozy
get it right.
aim to please
only your mind
check it off
one more to find.
in the mirror
there you stand
not so tough
not such a man.
maybe one more
to please your ease
just one drink
lead you to feast.
simple man
so eager to wait
keeping your fears
to contemplate.
borrow a soul
steal a heart
keep in mind
your a man apart.
