Babe, don’t walk away
Stay with me here for another day
It’s okay to touch
I’m in no rush
The table’s set for two
I can’t dine without you
I’m tossing and turning without you
Thinking of another sleepless night
I don’t wanna go through
But if you’re lying next to me
Then I’ll know who you are
With no tossing and turning
When I’m alone, another sleepless night
That I don’t wanna go through
So close your eyes, and girl just lie next to me
Then I’ll know who you are, and I can sleep
And I’m sorry I’m love struck
And I would give it all up for just one day
There’s something about the touch of her lips
A kiss that keeps bringing me back

Midnight phone calls
With no sleep at all
Attention is enthralled to where she's been and what I imagine
What the hell is taking so long?
I can’t take it
Now I toss and turn
Holy good lord
Now I’ve seen it all
I've called thirteen times
With no reply
Sending texts
And I get no reply
In the end, I will regret these actions
I can't just turn back to my old self
On August 2nd, all my lingering questions about her location were answered
Police explained to me that my loved one had been deceased since last night
The words hit me like a bullet
“Say it can’t be. Say you’re lying. You’ve got the wrong person. There’s no way this can be happening to me.”
“Sir, please calm down,” they said.
“We have the suspect in custody. He was intoxicated when the collision occured.”
That was the moment my sorrow was overcome with pure rage
And this all began
I grabbed my keys and ran to the car
Sirens are blaring now
Should I start slowing down?
Well, I don’t give a shit
I've never been the type that would forgive this
He has to pay for this misdeed
I will see him suffer slowly
Give me one shot
Just us alone
Give me one shot
Splitting his soul from his body
That is how he will repay me
We’ll save the space in the prisons
Men get arrested, dogs get put down
Just pray I don’t find you
Hell will feel like sweet relief
I’ll toss and turn ‘til I find you

There's been some long nights without her touch
And I’m still longing for her love
I can’t even sleep
I toss and turn
They say pray for closure
But how can I accept the reality where he is breathing, living in prison
Or walking free to attain neutrality
Worthless existence plaguing our race with protection from society
I can’t let that choice fall in the hands of a judge or a jury
No, I cannot live with that
So this all rides on me, because they will not put him to death
Eye for an eye it must be
He has to suffer by my hands
Because there has to be blood spilled, and I know exactly where he'll be
I start the plan
My vengeance will begin tonight
I will see him suffer by my hands
I take the exit, and park next to the curb
Where I will see him leave at 2am
Ignoring the pressure, my heart slows to the ticking of the clock
And watch the sunset
I feel the sweat drip down my face and wait for my moment to shine
Showtime
Plan of attack executed well
He is so drunk
Double vision doesn’t help to stop a force like me
Who will ensure that you soon will see
That you picked the wrong night to have a drink
Now cower at my feet

Let go
From all
I’ve tried and I’ve tried again
To escape the abysmal nature of this sin
I have followed every step
Just to fucking lead me back here
Where I will start this all again
With the hope that I will burn it to the ground
Withholding thoughts
The impending demise
I close my eyes
Clenching my fists to the thought of the voice that will beckon me back
Back to the fight
Fuck that
Let go
This illusion will not grow
Though I feel I’m sinking rather slow
Though I feel it in my bones
Let go

Here we are finally sitting face to face with nothing but the cool night air between us
It’s funny, I didn’t expect it to rain tonight
But I guess you could say mind has been preoccupied with other details
The quiet downpour outside sets a nice tone for what’s about to happen
I wonder if the calming ambience of the rain that night brought you comfort before the screech of his tires tore you away from me
How poetic
Let’s make sure the same feeling is reciprocated
This is the moment of retribution we’ve been waiting for
The time is now
Draw your final breath and make peace with your god
There will be no eulogy
No spoken words for you
No headstone at your grave
No flowers being laid on the patch of dirt that I have carefully chosen for you
No funeral procession
No family to mourn you
Now there will be nothing left to remember
Save for the sins you will pay
I picked up your favorite top shelf spirit to press against your lips
But you won’t even get a sip
Now there will be nothing left to remember
Save for the sins you will pay
No, you won't drink from this bottle in my hand
But trust me you will get a taste
Feel the real impact of the bottle
Delivered in the perfect harmony
Taking away another life
The way you took her life away from me
No lawyers here to obstruct justice
No crying for a judge or a jury
Just the executioner balancing the scales of reciprocity
Draw your final breath and make peace with your god
There will be no eulogy
No spoken words for you
No headstone at your grave
No flowers being laid on the patch of dirt that I have carefully chosen for you
You draw your final breath
I've made peace with my god.
