Suicide by Cop

This cage was meant to be torn apart So why maintain it? This life means nothing to me at all So why take the risk? Why force my hand? Your place is there With your own kind There’s more to lust Than a finite desire My life will fall apart on their own I don’t need you for that I promise, I can fuck this up just fine I used to think I’d change your mind I used to think You’d save my life I won’t be missed I won’t be mourned No one’s looking at you now You are on your own In fact I’m already dead But lights still flicker overhead A few less cops in this town But in the end it just took one to put me down So what do you think it’s worth The gift of life, the joy of birth? Well, it’s a little less than I’d hoped Disappointed to find No deeper meaning to the joke
