2000 Days

Russian roulette with an ACP,
He won't live the Doctors all agree.
Surgery went well but he lost his sight,
The wounds never close but the stitches are tight.

Scars from a battle lost long ago,
It always ends cold with a tag on your toe.
A pile of apologies left unsaid,
The man is a living but his soul is dead.

The world seems clearer now the spirits are gone,
Poisoned minds are so withdrawn,
Better hide the dog, just because,
I'm 2000 days better than I once was.

The fire is raging, as it burns down the land
Wooden houses fall as the pyramids stand.
Pixelated fears in the palm of your hand,
Pick up the glass where there used to be sand.

Distill the future, at the edge of despair,
Assets are gone there's nothing to declare,
Grab the paddle and make the escape,
But the river damned up, it's a little too late.

The world seems clearer now the spirits are gone,
Poisoned minds are so withdrawn,
Unsheathe the sword and kill the buzz
I'm 2000 days better than I once was.
2000 days..... 2000 days....

Knowledge or power tell me what is greater,
Shoot from the hip and ask the questions later.
When our eyes are closed we all walking blind,
You might hate the label but you're still defined.

The world seems clearer now the spirits are gone,
Poisoned minds are so withdrawn,
The illusion of courage, does what it does.
I'm 2000 days better than I once was.
2000 days.... 2000 days.... 2000 days.... 2000 days...
