Scene of A Tragedy
I saw the flowers beside the road
That marked the end of a story told
And as my heart played a sad melody
I beheld the scene of a tragedy
It is her turn with the kids for a while
So into her leased car they all did pile
The remnants of what was once a family
Is now just the scene of a tragedy
The newspaper told of a horrible disease
That rocked a family to its knees
Now gathered together at the cemetery
To commemorate the scene of a tragedy
He had fought his battles for so very long
And tried so hard for others to be strong
But then he laid out a plan so carefully
His room the scene of a tragedy
He snorted it just to be one of the crew
Not realizing what it was going to do
Until one day he overdosed accidentally
And died at the scene of a tragedy
It was just a buzz he thought that night
And climbed behind the wheel of plight
Then plowed into a car so horrifically
His lonely cell the scene of a tragedy
