Murdered Me

Murdered me with your love 
Murdered me with your lies 
I could see the rage when I looked into your eyes

You told me that you loved me 
but I just wanted to leave. 
"Why can't you just be happy" you ask 
While pushing me to my knees 

Always playing the victim
You're good at playing that game
Lies of mistreatment; lies and untruths
All I ever wanted was away from your abuse. 

That night I planned to leave
That night my plan was perfect
But you found out and rallied your crew
You said I couldn't leave, you said we weren't through

I managed to escape you  
And locked myself in a room 
But you had other plans
And I knew my fate was doomed

You pryed open my door
And I tried to keep it shut
But your crew breached the second entry 
And I knew my time was up

You stood behind the gun; 
You pointed it in my direction
You pulled the trigger; 
And took my life  
You took it with just one finger

You claimed my death was suicide
But we both know the truth
You continue to play the victim
But now they're on to you!

Karma

How does it feel to be confined to a bed
Alone in a psych ward with the voices in your head
Your actions done and now you're here
How does it feel to be laying here

The lives you've destroyed but still deny
You don't fool me; An eye for an eye
Karma has a way of coming back around
Now it's your turn and you've been found

Losing the battle; your little one lost
They protect her from you at all costs
The State came in and took her away
With you no more; not allowed to stay 

Your home and job is a thing of the past
Your lying and deceit took them at last
Your family no longer behind your front door
The life you had is no more

You dug your own grave all on your own
help from no one; you did it alone
What goes around comes around they say
And karma made sure; you're beginning  to pay

The Riverbank

Down along the riverbank
Crawling through the sand
Walk carefully and keep quiet
For danger is at hand

You hope to find a place to hide 
But who you meet is much worse 
She's evil and she's grotesque 
She's wicked and she's cursed

The restless soul of someone dark 
She brings only misery and death
She lures the unsuspecting 
So she can steal their spark

With pale skin and withered hands
And eyes as dull as coal
She'll pull you down into the depths
She wants to steal your soul!

Avoyelles Life

In a small town, in the middle of the state
Lie many questions; still unanswered to date 
Injustice is done without the bat of an eye
It's all about who you know, my oh my

Crying for help, you don't stand a chance
While those in control laugh and dance
Most turn their backs and pretend it away
They claim it doesn't happen; not the way you say

Just ask George, Jeremy, Armando or Ray
They could have told you the things that take place
It's a game to some; not to all
But we mustn't stay silent; the corrupt must fall

They tell you to relax, don't be so uptight
But it's all I think about when I go to bed each night
Until the day comes when the corrupt are undone; I'll remain a voice about the things that go on

In this Louisiana parish, I pray to this day; That those in control learn to do things the honest way
Until that day comes to Avoyelles at last;
I'll continue to be a voice of the corruption they cast.

Margaret Dared

Margaret dared to poke the bear
She thought she was so smart
With eyes of coal; she lacked a soul
And shot him straight through the heart

She sat and laughed at what she’d done
Because she thought she was smarter than everyone
She played the victim and tried to sway
the stares and talks of what people would say

When his family discovered what she had done; 
their fight for justice had begun
So she packed her belongings and fled out of town
In the middle of the night, not making a sound

But it was too late, they already knew
All the things that she did do
You can run, you can hide
But you’ll never get away
The truth always wins; we know what you did...and prison awaits your stay.
