The rope tightens around his neck

Bringing bittersweet relief

His grave dug daily is now fifty feet deep

Breath taken by a fiberous theif

Skin tight against withered bone she looks around old and alone

Raises a gun to her mouth she bits her last bullet,collapses to the stone

An ocean of red runs freely from his vein

A scarlet canvas reveals

The only rush of relief he's ever felt for his pain

Rooftop towers make city lights shimmer and shake

He stands on the edge muttering

"For fucks sake"

Some pills they pop hoping for a final heart stop

In convulsive agony they shudder and drop

Bittersweet relief to have it all stop
