This is how it ends

Intro

His yellow dried up fingers held a cigarette

Like a jumper on a ledge.

The ashes balanced like a tight wire acrobat.

Precariously on edge.

Verse

He coughs like an old sick dog.

 Taps the ashes in a jar.

Then spits up some blood and tar.

 

He wets his lips with whiskey

And then takes another drag.

His whole life in one trash bag.

 Chorus

Deserted by family and friends

  Remembered for his sins.

This is how, this is how it all ends.

Verse

One white square reminding him

Of where her picture one hung.

A black phone that’s never rung.

 

He lights his last cigarette

With the butt besides the jar.

Listens to a passing car.

Chorus

Deserted by family and friends

  Remembered for his sins.

This is how, this is how it all ends.

Bridge

The scent of his addiction permeates the air.

Hangs to the strands of his greasy hair.

Verse

He coughs like an old sick dog.

 Taps the ashes in a jar.

Then spits up some blood and tar.

 

He wets his lips with whiskey

And then takes another drag.

His whole life in one trash bag.

 

Chorus

Deserted by family and friends

  Remembered for his sins.

This is how, this is how it all ends.
