A tear for a killer

[smackncheese]

they will lay me down here in the valley of shadows,
dark side of the wall between demons and hallows
no prayer for my soul, for when one pulls the trigger
they can’t have deliverance, only the gallows
could have spent my whole life being something worth being
but i spent my life spending my being away

now they’ll dance on my grave with disdain on their faces
they won’t shed a tear for a killer like me
and their hearts will turn black with the filth of resentment
there’s so much more to me that they’ll never see
there’s so much more to me
that they’ll never see...

and i took your breath away
and i took your life away

and i stopped human hearts for a self-serving purpose
that you wouldn’t comprehend, something sub-surface
i’m human inside but they just see the part that’s
a cold-blooded murderer branded as worthless
though i tried my whole life to mean more than just nothing
in the end i’m no more than a life thrown away

now they’ll dance on my grave with disdain on their faces
no trace of a tear for a killer like me

cause i took your breath away
and i took your life away

now their eyes are upon me
the rope is around my neck
i can’t choke out a last word
that anyone would respect
they’ll rejoice when my last breath
is over and i lie cold
with their hatred inside me
i wait as my fate unfolds

so you took my life away
so you took my life away

they are satisfied now with the justice that they have done
they’ve avenged loss of life with the loss of another one
now they’ll dance on my grave with disdain on their faces
they’ll dance on my grave just to show that they’ve won
but they won’t shed a tear for a killer like me
no they won’t shed a tear for a killer like me
no they won’t shed a tear for a killer, go figure
they won’t even care that i’m sorry....
i’m sorry

that i took your breath away
that i took your life away

now they’ll dance on my grave with disdain on their faces
they won’t shed a tear for a killer like me
and their hearts will turn black with the filth of resentment
there’s so much more to me that they’ll never see
there’s so much more to me
that they’ll never see

This and "Smile and Nod" were my favourites. I could almost put a tune to rhythm. I like that.

Thanks They were intended to be songs, yes.
I found 'The Butterflies' recently by the way. You probably remember when I used to write those? I'm considering posting a few entries. Stoner ramblings are win.

You should. Those were incredibly creative, I remember. You totally should. I've got some stuff I'm gonna post as well.
