The Fleeting One

By Matt Freire

See you walking
Holding fast
Man appears
He strikes up a match
Asks you the question
But you didn’t like the answer
Now you’re down on the ground
Mans part of the cancer
And you wish for that second
The one that you’re in
Man turns his back
And you can get him
But it doesn’t happen
And you’re all alone
Wallet is gone
Blood flows through your noise
But it doesn’t matter
Only had a few bucks
And it doesn’t matter
The blood will stop
And it doesn’t matter

Now you walk down the street
See a friend that you know
Looses his money
As he wipes his noise
Cocaine
Controlling his life
Lost his money
And he lost his wife
And he’s looking to you
And you see his eyes
Wanting some money
Just to stay high
And you think
To give him some doe
So he’ll be out on the street
To get some more blow
As it flows to the brain
Fatal hit
Drops to the floor
And you’d live with it
But you don’t
And you walk away
And it doesn’t even matter
He will die some day
But you did
A noble think
He still hits the snow
So you did nothing
Walk away

But it doesn’t matter
There will be someone else
And it doesn’t matter
There is more on the shelf
And it doesn’t matter
What road to take
And it doesn’t matter

Theirs more than one-way
On a on way street
And did you ever stop to think
How you can see me
Optical
Allusions appear
My fear has run out
So why are you here
Run away

Life is a game
With decisions to make
So make them up now
So there be no mistake
And run
Steady and true
And don’t look bay
The mirror is you
Run away

Sit up
Open your eyes
See the light right before you die
