wanted
I am a Dead Man walking
a creeper stalking
I am the the shilloute in the full moon
with a cape you can call me a goon.
I try to act but it gets so dark when
I feel so alone
I feel like walking bones hearless
speechless
and restless
I do not know who you are
but I beg for your affection.
For I'm a dead man I'm wanting
with a red dot on my head
and a grenade where I stand.
