Three cold coins cast weights in his pockets
that's one for the ferryman but two for the heroin
and three states of being were left out as an option
birth, life, and death and he chose to choose none of them

you'd think that he could smell the approaching Death
if he hadn't sand blasted his nose to nary a snort in Life's breath.
and maybe he wouldn't have been blind to other paths
but it's hard to see the future from a low hung head

so swing low, and take a taste of the madness
but take a dip like a quill in ink to create your life's masterpiece
and if you sink too low then then just brush it off naturally
because nothings permanent and unless you make it seem to be


hold your chin up and breath sighs relief
the devils are on your back so they cannot impede
and child slow down there's no need for grief
you can't live life dead if dead set on living
 

two cold coins cast weights in his pockets
enough to clip a roach you'd think.
but for all the currency he carried currently
he couldn't seem to actually fit himself in between.

and you'd think, but man, I'm sure he didn't
taking anything for the next hit,
next quick trip to the hospital,
next anything to feel anyway but hostile.

but swing high,
miss the person that you used to be
stop playing beat on your beat to get money to buy yourself new treats
with every breath wishing that you'd never breath your next
it's crazy when you huff out a laugh
because you swing low, and take a taste of the madness
but take a dip like a quill in ink to create your life's masterpiece
and if you sink too low then then just brush it off naturally
because nothings permanent and unless you make it seem to be
Swing low.
