foot in the grave

By molock

it's how you finish,​

 

when you play the

 

game.

 

got my crosses to

 

bear,

 

to cleanse my soul

 

today...

 

the pendulum swings,

 

as time slips away.

 

 

 

the more things change,

 

the more they stay the

 

same.

 

traveling down this winding

 

road,

 

sometimes a sinner,

 

other times a saint.

 

in between black and

 

white,

 

...living in the grey.

 

got one foot in this world,

 

the other in the grave....

 

 

 

throw myself in the fire,

 

pray for baptism by rain.

 

thought i got it right,

 

...but karma fueled the

 

flame.

 

 

 

living and dying are one

 

in the same.

 

take a breath,

 

exhale....

 

another second slips away.

 

living in the moment,

 

in a precarious way.

 

got one foot in this world,

 

the other in the grave....
