To the Gallows

Living through addiction. Living through the past I see my dark reflection staring right back With it's blood shot eyes finger pointed right at me He mouthed "I'm gonna kill you" set your tortured soul free Where's the devil when you need him? I'm feeling all alone My inner self is itching to find a buried home Will my will still kill even if I'm gonna die The hand of death keeps creeping up my shattered spine I'll go. Where I don't know I'll follow all the signs that point to dagger road Hell is getting closer. It's warming up my feet And tensions getting tighter my heart is skipping beats And my head is getting heavy it's pointed at the ground My only true direction is down, down, down My mind is getting weaker it teeters on the tracks And the slightest gust of wind decides what happens next With a penny as my fortune will it buy enough to eat? Before I hit the road my foot must start on the street I'll go. Where I don't know I'll follow all the signs that point to dagger road As I walk towards the gallows my spirt is at ease Suppress my fading ego tears roll down my cheeks It's the last breath of air that seals my jaded fate I wish you knew I loved you but it's far too late
