Lonely

Hasan Johnson 1980 (Peoria Illinois)

Tyburn
Shouldn’t have tried
Should have left her alone
Deep dark pit she is
Can never return home
A man’s youth is his everything
Mine a waste ashore
If tomorrow isn’t promised
What was yesterday for
Sin and sin and sin again
Hoping to erase the past
Repent repent repent again
Regret forever last
My chest is tight
My heart is in pain
My head hurts
I’ll never sin again
I lie to myself and even convince my friends
I always take her back again and again and again
