Friendly murderers



It's rear to know a murderer let alone two
Iv seen the dark and the light show through
Lived in a house with a man who slit throat
Drunk on a hill with another of a darker note
Been protected by he who no longer is of own name
So two for the second one but soul's not the same
Felt the fear of the one reciveing out lay of angers lash
Seen the eyes glazed with dark uncontrolled psychotic flash
Received apollagy from the soon to be famed
Lost the other once lifes story he'd finally tamed
Strange thing to say you both respect and fear
Yet this friendship has origins of a unseen tear
Contract now lost for the better now reflections seen
As documentarys made on both projecting on screen
A small peice of intrigue to turn inside your mind
As I walk on streets and see similar tears in one's kind
