The nightrider

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
