the pills

the man wakes up from his slumber
he finds what he was looking for on the desk beside him
this will ease the pain
this will take me far away

the pills are manageable
they go down smooth
a whole pack full
down so smooth

he lays back on his bed
waiting for his time to come
his body grows numb
he forgot to tell them all

the pills take hold
his mind trails off
ready to take a flight
into the great unknown

he closes his eyes one last time
the pills do their job\
his eyes close
he is done

he sees a flash of light through his eyes
its just too late, the event is calm
they're just too late\
they're just too late
a man of many virtues falls
