The Final Act

Im giving up
Throwing in the towel while waving a white flag
Admitting defeat
I'll step to the side
I'm beat
Wait for my spot at the end of the line
Finish where I think I started
Last place
No need to wait
Go ahead
Finish the race
Hand the trophies out
Keep my constellation prize
I'm fading and doubt I'll make it before roads reopen
No joke this time
Time ain't on my side

At the end of my rope
So why keep hanging around
Skip tying a noose and chocking myself out
I'm just going to let go
Free fall into the darkness
No need to give warning
No chance of being saved
For all my supporters have left before me
Which tells me
I have overstayed
Past my checkout time
Rather die then be that guy
I should go while I still have a piece of my mind
No need to stand up
I'll follow the exit signs
Better yet I just go out the way I came in

Out of touch
Out of time
Out of my mind I must be
From what others say
I don't even know me
So why keep the clock ticking
Feeling like I'm stealing valuable space
All just to sit here and wait to waste away
Like a drunk with unlimited drinks
Or a junkie with endless dope and great veins
I wanted to live forever
Then I quit drugs and reality set in
If Jesus's dad didn't kill half my family
I wouldn't be this loose cannon
Lord show me a miracle for God's sake
It was fun till the fun ran out
Bring the fun back
Scratch that
I forgot this is my last act
One last cigarette
As I stare in the mirror
Everybody wants somebody to wave back
Let the curtan drop
After the gun shot everyone sing along
Where do bad boys go when they die
They don't go to heaven where......
