I murdered someone
But only one
Someone I put in comatose
Never to be arose
I laughed as I stabbed him with the knife
As I was causing him pain and strife
I killed that man that day
Now my mind since then has been in disarray
I could not believe what I had just done
All I could think to do was run
That was twenty years ago today
I'm trying to stay going the right way
As I walk around the bend
Longing for a friend
A good friend
Who will not leave my side until the end
A good friend that will always stand by my side
But fake friends are only there for the ride
As I sat on the pier
I was wondering why we fear
I mean why do we fear death
On that day that we draw our last breath
Sometimes I get the feeling of being ripped off
I need help with this terrible cough
Maybe through all this pain and strife
I should drop this knife
I don't think I am willing to take another life
So maybe i should drop this knife
As it hit the floor
There was a terrible roar
It was the sound of a train going by
Then I stood there wondering why
I flagged the train down
Without a frown
I knew I was about to do something wrong
I knew I had to be strong
With some of my friend's dead
I walked ahead
With feelings sublime
I walked in to try one more time
As I am about to drop this rhyme
And go through with this crime
I wondered how much money was on the train
As I was looking into the gloomy rain
I ran into a few complications
This added to my many frustrations
A woman confronted me
And looked at me with glee
She said do you remember me
I was the one who set you free
I said what have I done
I'm sorry I have to run
No don't go
I'm not here for the show
But how can you forgive me for what I did
When I was just a kid
I can forgive you
But there is something you must do
Please drop the knife
You don't want to take another life
She said let's be married forever
We can work through this together
As I walk down the aisle for our wedding
My heavy feet behind me treading
As I look back to all my friend's
I wonder when it all ends
As we kiss
I feel a sense of bliss
Maybe this life is worthwhile after all
With friends that would be willing to take the fall
After all the pain and the strife
I decided to drop the knife
