GAME OVER

And you started this life with so much time

your beginning so bright...filled with glee.

humility struggled to soften the chimes

of a young heart running free.

And you started this life with so much time

in a hurry to experience the fun

chasing the blues with tasty red wine

then contemplate buying a gun.

And you started this life with so much time

now you’ve chosen to betray your soul

filling your days with emptiness and crime

no matter how deadly the toll.

And you started this life with so much time

now you’re just another man on the run

abuse and decay have slaughtered your mind

when sun sets….your day is done.
