Hungover and Blacked Out

Wakin' up to hell's own image
Head poundin' somethin' fierce

A cowpoke finds himself knee-deep
In death's cold water—immersed

Eyes flicker open to lifeless
Gazes starin' back so still

Memories a scatter-shot haze, last night's
Deeds an unknown pill

Bottles lay shattered 'round his boots like
Dreams that done been dashed

And every stiff tells a story

Their final chapter slashed

He tries to piece together how this carnage came to pass

But his mind's just shootin' blanks
—a trigger pulled on empty mass

Blood sticks to him worse than guilt
It clings like shadows to sin

Got no clue if he played dealer or was just cashed in

Room reeks of gunpowder and regrets
Brewed too strong

If he's the one who dealt this hand
Then lord knows it all went wrong

Now he stands alone amidst quiet corpses tellin' tales untold
Their voices snuffed out by violence—
Or so he fears as truth unfolds

A hungover cowpoke
Staggered by weight not
Of drink but dread
Not sure if he's among the living or
Another ghost made dead

He searches through pockets for clues amongst the gore
Hoping for redemption in
This bloodbath's core

Whiskey-soaked flashbacks flicker
But they're fast and frail
Half-memories of laughter, screams, then nothing... just the stale

He finds a piece, still warm from
Firing furious rounds
Heavy with implication in his shaky hands it pounds
Did he carve this massacre or is he just another pawn?
A plaything for fate's fickle finger
To move and then be gone

So there he stands—a figure framed by daylight's creeping scorn
Wond'rin' if he'll be the hangman or if he'll hang at morn
A hungover cowpoke left guessin' 'bout sins possibly his own—
In a room where death is plenty but truth remains unknown

He searches through pockets for clues amongst the gore
Hoping for redemption in this
Bloodbath's core
Whiskey-soaked flashbacks flicker
But they're fast and frail
Half-memories of laughter, screams, then nothing... just the stale

He finds a piece, still warm
From firing furious rounds
Heavy with implication in his shaky hands it pounds
Did he carve this massacre or is he just another pawn?
A plaything for fate's fickle
Finger to move and then be gone

So there he stands—a figure framed by daylight's creeping scorn
Wond'rin' if he'll be the hangman or if he'll hang at morn
A hungover cowpoke left guessin' 'bout sins possibly his own—
In a room where death is plenty but truth remains unknown
