| Last rounds of the night leaving downtown on 34
|
| Roads are wet from the rain but tonight is crystal clear
|
| A call comes in, he takes it, another hour is another dollar toward the family
|
| trip
|
| But it’s one of those nights, where you’re checking your watch and it always
|
| stays the same
|
| Every morning in this job you pray you never see a neck break. |
| Your head shakes
|
| because you will
|
| Never know what you are gonna know. |
| Until you go home, slip in another photo
|
| with that family
|
| That you barely even know
|
| A two boy suicide pact, one pulled the trigger the other one didn’t have the
|
| guts. |
| Standing there with
|
| No tears left, his eyes open wide, his best friend with his face down
|
| Four letter words are whispering behind his back. |
| The world keeps spinning on
|
| The boy in the back of the squad car keeps mumbling to himself quietly,
|
| but in my head he is talking to me
|
| And in our conversation he says «If I can’t do it myself, at least give me some
|
| help. |
| I know you think
|
| You’re driving me home but my blood is on your hands
|
| They say not everyone can do it the first time. |
| For some it’s a slow death
|
| taking decades in dead end jobs
|
| So tell me what’s it like to live a normal life?
|
| Is it different when you’re older or do you just ignore it?
|
| You said I would have my whole life to regret what I said.»
