Red Tar

In the moment of truth
I stuck with the lie
Got lost in the smoke
Became a slave
To a weak mind
Need to kill a hawk
Need to steal some wings
Blood like red tar
Overdosed on cynicism
Swept under and drowned
Lured in by a siren
I ran my ship aground
Slash of talon
Glimpse of Venus
Tidal waves crashing down
Need to kill a hawk
Need to steal some wings
Grief crawls in the shadow of time
Try to keep in mind
It's all finite
