Hollow's Eve
• Written by caffeinewriter
The world's on fire,
You're screaming "LIAR!",
I'm not dead but you're lighting the pyre,
Telling me to pay the piper,
Selling your bullshit, but I'm no buyer.
I'd drive by in a brand new Viper,
You'd bust out the window and slash the tire,
Thousand meter lyrical sniper,
I'm hating you with every fiber.
Today telling me you're four weeks sober,
But I left you at the hospital, OD'd over,
Less lucky than a no-leaf clover,
Faker than Trumps hair, and somehow I'm the poser.
Bailed you out from Atlanta to Dover,
Shoulda left you to rot, get shot, or just bend over,
But instead I keep on dropping lower,
I'm more checked out than any stoner.
Every time I saved your hide,
A little part of me left and died,
I tried to save you, I really tried,
But nobody stopped your downward slide.
I know we fought, but I've never cried,
Quite so hard my eyes never dried,
You never got to be somebody's bride,
The cops just shake their heads and sigh.
"Another druggie dead",
"Violence Spreads",
"Went for a score, but was shot through the head",
Just headlines filling the world with dread,
From someone who's never seen the sidewalk red.
I'd never admit I wish it had been me instead,
Left to die as the trigger burnt tread,
Cop's didn't pursue him as he fled,
Too much risk, too few tears were shed.
"We were dysfunctional", as I pull on my mask,
Another thought as I sip from my flask,
I know tonight's gonna be my last,
Hopefully it'll be over fast.
