Music: Take Me Away

Last night I cried, I’m tongue tied, so I’ll write this

Mystified at last night’s events

A friend of mine, he caught five, and I spent

The next morning, sorting through what happened

The story goes he didn’t know, the man who shot him

At the ATM, he took out some cash

Not knowing that he wouldn’t come back

Point blank range with perfect aim

No remorse, cold hearted, as the body lay

To rest I found him gone, and now I’m singing this sad song

Chorus: X2

Take me away from all of this

It’s hell on earth, but it was heaven sent

I spent my time, trying to get in line

Lost in the shadows, not feeling alive

Why do the good die, while the bad people live?

A blessing in disguise, or is it a sin?

I couldn’t say good-bye to my friend

Tossed and turned the memory’s burned in

My mind plays it again and again

No love it’s all blood shed on the hands of men

I lie in bed wide-awake

Was it a coincidence or was it a mistake?

I still feel sorrow the pains and aches

Are just relived, I have to stand trial for what I did

Chorus: X2

Take me away from all of this

It’s hell on earth, but it was heaven sent

I spent my time, trying to get in line

Lost in the shadows, not feeling alive
