Carcass

Walking downtown with a gun in my hand
Bloodshot eyes and an empty heart
It's been ten years, why do i feel this way
Dried up tears, so much pain

Some would say i'm a desperate man
Whatever happened to the greater plan
The one where i was the good guy
The one who had a spark in his eye

That man's gone long forgotten
His remains were buried
In a shallow grave

Guess you could say
That's the path he chose
His soul left alone to decompose

They'll hang me high for this
They'll string me way up high
And for the shit i've done
They'll let me swing a while

They'd strap me to the chair
And then they'll shroud my face
And for the shit i've done
They'll watch me fry for this

There's just no hiding place
And there's no finding grace
When your head is the prison
And your mind is the cage

When i turn out the light
There's things that creep at night
But everything's a ghost
When you're guilty

Waiting all alone at the liquor store
There's whiskey on my breath
And there's blood on the floor
I wonder how long
It will take them to get here

Im getting impatient
With my finger on the trigger
It's my grandfather's gun
That they'll find clinched in my hand

But i didn't inherit it
I stole it from my cousin
I'm really so sorry
That i let you down

But my final wish is to die like a man
As the sirens get closer
I realise my plan
I take cover and the shooting begins

Please tell your sons
Not to be like me
There's really no chance
That this ends another way
