that lily livered suckerpunch
done lifted my weight
head spinning round
til i hit the concrate
hands going up
as the legs came down
blood spilling out
as the snake unwound
contact made
in the black of an eye
deathwish motherfucker
wanting me to die
slipshod footing
trouble braking in the wake
looking round for a sucker
with bones to brake
shit kicking monkey boys
receeding to a crack
turn off the lights
really tripping to the black
smoke stone phillies
turning gray with ash
it all comes down
to who gets the last laugh
now i stand and deliver
to the whisper of the crowd
but they'll never understand
cos understanding ain't allowed
but they always come here looking
though the answers in their hands
so i look 'em in the eye
and deliver my demands
state my intentions
as the tension gets a grip
and i feel myself sliding
like the sweat above my lip
i nod and move slowly
as the push becomes a shove
while i look to other people
and pray to god above
kneelin' in the darkness
with my elbows on the bed
my hand caresses the necklace
and its figure made of lead
i mouth the words slowly
to the verses in my head
and state my acquiescence
to a savior that is dead
