Victim of Downturn

THEY KEEP JOKING
WHILE I’M DROWNING
PRAYING TO BE SAVED
I FEEL THE VIOLENCE
OF THEIR SILENCE
THROUGH THE EYES THAT BLIND
AND I SEE A LIGHT
NO HOME SUICIDE
MAN FORSAKEN
HAS LOST EMBRACES
IN HIGHWAYS OF DEMISE
IN THIS ACTION
NO REFLECTION
I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE
AND I SEE A LIGHT
NO HOPE SUICIDE
I’M TAKING MY OWN LIFE BEFORE THEY TRADE
IT I’M A VICTIM OF DOWNTURN I’M NOT A COWARD
DON’T BE GRIEVING
SEE THEM GRINING
ON MY DEBT-RIDDEN GRAVE
NO HESITATION
IN DESPERATION
WAS IT WORTH FIGHTIN' FOR?
AND I SEE A LIGHT
NO HOLE SUICIDE
I’M TAKING MY OWN LIFE BEFORE THEY TRADE IT
I’M A VICTIM OF DOWNTURN I’M NOT A COWARD
THE BANKER MAN IS WATCHING YOU
THE POLITICIAN IS TAXING YOU
THE PAPER MEDIA IS WAITING YOU
THE SOCIAL NETWORK IS CALLING YOU
I’M TAKING MY OWN LIFE BEFORE THEY TRADE IT
I’M A VICTIM OF DOWNTURN I’M NOT A COWARD
