Death row happy endings

by Disenchanted   Mar 11, 2008


On death row I watch you stare
My eyes are slitted, abandoned their care

I see the door, unlock and Ajar,
But know now I won't be going very far.

They take the cuffs from my wrists, and for a moment I seem free
Until I begin walking, man before, and behind me.

They take me to my chamber, a cruel and cold cell.
Where no matter how hard you scream, no one can tell.

Once again I'm locked in, alone for a moment of thoughts.
My fine ones, I remember things I've never forgot.

Your face, your hair, your smile, your hands, your eyes
The way you wiped the tears that I cry

My face fall in my hands, and I know this is a miss calculation
How could I kill the man I love? I'm filled with frustration.

They pin me down, strap me tight enough to bruise
They don't care anymore, neither do I; There's nothing to lose.

The needle breaks the skin, and I begin to fade away
Oh, the tears are finally rolling down my face.

This is all false it can't be.
I couldn't kill him, he was apart of me.

And away I fade, from this life and ahead
To a place where I can laugh, to a place I used to make pretend.

There he is, the man I've loved this entire time.
He wipes my tears, and tells not to cry.

And with my hand in his, we soar to our new paradise
Away from the tears, the hate, and all the vice.
