A Goodbye Lullaby

It put him out
Like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
 It broke his heart
 He spent his whole life trying to forget
 We watched him smoke his pain away a little at a time
 but he never quiet got high enough to smoke her off his mind
 Until the night
 He put that pipe up to his head and pulled the trigger
 He finally smoked away her memory
 Life is short but this time it was bigger
 Than the strength he had to put down that damn speed
 They found him dead with his face down in the pillow
 With a note that said
 Why God Why God Why
 and when they buried him beneath the the willows
 The angels sang a goodbye lullaby
