Mackey's Lament

Paroles
Been at this for a whole damn hour

Trying to find a way to get the money and the power

Everybody I knows got weed or got powder

But I ain't got either got a lot of demons

The room down the hallway where every single dream lived

Turned into a wall where I couldn't reach at all

Boxes of alcohol leaned up against the wall

Like statues she praised daily like gods

Her head would nod as she walked out the room

Where the blood left a stain on the pillow since June

Shaking in the middle of the night trying to stay asleep

But every time she takes a drink her eyelids start to blink

She starts to think

About the pain that's life causes

The gains the strain from life's fortunes

Drowning in a pool of regret

While losing life's light from her glimpse with each sip

Used to have a grip on vices but ran into a crisis

And now she pays the price for that shit

Guilt's eating her guts and she can't get a grip

All she could do is tap a brew and take a sip

She used to able to make sense of shit that ain't make sense

But now all she do is take sips

Up to the point she sips what you can't sip

The pain be to much to bare she can't drink shit

Damn

It's our fault

Heard the shot fired

Sounded like it was next to him when it sounded off

She skipped school to hang out with her boyfriend

Had some news for him that she knew would destroy him

Had a new boyfriend around the same age

Now the old man's removed out the new man's space

Old man's face turned cold gun raised

Bullet transmitted to the front of her brain

Bang

He said it was an accident

Probated five years her whole family cried tears

Most came to divide shares

Buy my sister's shit up and decide theirs

Felt like a bull runners nightmare

Just trying to hide fear behind all of his ideas

From seeing Vita right there

Yeah

But all things happen in a flash

Cause happiness in this life is never meant to last
