Loaded Barrell

by Kevin Brooks   Jul 24, 2004


I put the bullet in the barrel
like a ferocious beast waiting to explode
always cocked locked and ready to go
but this time around I'm not putting someones body in the ground
its me thats lying 6feet deep
me thats lying in a broken Heep
i will lie with a shotgun wound to my face
with my blood and bones scatterd around space
my bloods on the floor
filling in the cracks and cuts
seepinging through the basements rust
and i will die away in echos and dust
i never did have the right stuff
but i was always meant to die
knowing that i was never enough
