the big guns
i’m all alone in this glass house
Swallowing jack under a pink sky
there’s blood on the driveway
keeping a knife in the pocket of my jeans
let’s have a requiem for all my dreams
i’m all alone in this fire
they’re watching me burn alive
i don’t even scream
i don’t even mean
any of the love i ever gave
you weren’t there at my grave
i’m covered in the scars
you and i were made in the stars
i’m all alone in this prison
you never came to visit
my hands are chained
my eyes are wide
they took my shoelaces
so afraid of suicide
remember when you were on my side
the day you left
the day i died
slit my throat with my pocket knife
so now they come celebrate my life
never had kids
never took a wife
my ending came early
surely
you knew what you were doing
when you cut our tether,
you left in hopes of better weather
the end.
