File

peto

A jail inside a jail was built 

For those who still deny their guilt 

A poker player's hour on tilt

He never will escape 

 

A tortured wrongly wired brain 

A brother by the name of cain

A forming clot in every vein 

He never will escape 

 

He searched the grimy dead end streets 

For what had left him incomplete 

Once distant love now obsolete 

He never will escape 

 

He drew a blade across his wrist 

Still burdened by the soul she kissed 

Before she chalked him off her list 

He never will escape 

 

With no more wheels to oil or grease

He begged the gods for some release 

She took his hand and brought some peace 

The file in his cake
