Pacing up and down the street,
Facing bittersweet defeat.
As he wanders, across the line,
Coming closer, final decline.

Spiralling downward deeper and dark,
Life is making its final mark.

Paranoia breaks his mind,
Slowly he leaves the world behind.

Ashes to ashes,
Blade of a knife,
He’ll tear up your soul,
And take your life.

Hiding among us,
Clever disguise,
Catch the unsuspecting,
In a web of lies.
