Ballad of a broken man

Honesty forgotten, where truth is just a lie
Faithfulness is rotten, emotions can't deny
Loneliness my friend, as you left me for dead
Slow and bitter end, coffin as my bed

The end was coming from the start
Picked to play the junkie part
Empty shell of apathy
Sea of sorrow drowning me

I knew I was dying, couldn't feel a thing
No use in denying, the falling of the king
Father used his son, taught him how to burn
Not the only one, not that hard to learn

The torture of my veins, lies here in my hand
Overdose on loneliness, I take my final stand
