Okay...plastered once again, dear I'm far beyond average

Hearin' laughter after Gin, has got me gone, I'm a savage

Another bottle, tongues are hostile, tonight it's a classic

Plot is awful, and colossal, I'm caught up in the madness

Driven to accelerate, as every day becomes shortened

With resistance in my brain, I stay awake and lay dormant

Nobody seems to notice, when I say it's important

Drownin myself in dreams of poets, to escape from the tourment

Where is personal refelction? I've been lost in destruction

Dark shadows of possession, got me tossin' and buzzin'

Almost certain, this profession, offers options of nothin'

Though I'm not allowed to question, it's not up for discussion

Surrounded by these serpents, rather live as a hermit

My hands are covered in blood, like a currency purchase

Now alert because it's urgent, from this point I'm determined

To break the curse of doin' dirt, no longer lurk as a servant

A screaming stream of sirens, always rings in my ears

With my finger on the trigger, I'm releasing these fears

No longer notice my reflection, when I peek in the mirror

Instead I'm haunted by aggression, I can see with each tear

My soul's been taken over, due to gallons of booze

And the lives that I have ruined, used to have me amused

I know the price of agony , when I'm lighting that fuse

But I can't just walk away, from the ties and my roots

Sudden flashbacks of my past, got me blinded and shakin'

It don't matter where you hide, there's no right destination

All these people and their type, they will find your location

When they do, they'll murder you, and ignore hesitation

I'm sick and tired of this role, I wish I'd never adapted

The pin stripes down my jacket, are now faded, and ragged

Fedora torn and fashioned, alas the feather's been flattened

I'm a Mobster til the day, I am laid in my casket
