Dead standby

Dead standby

Bones start to pop as the soul forgets who's boss

Facial expression reminds you of your worst accident

Pain fills your heart

It's not sympathy you feel it's the lack of understanding

As Fear flows through the veins of the solid being trying to find the blood that remains

Only bringing down the walls that hang

Like putting the finishing touch on hangman

You can see the smell and the air collide like best friends coming in for high fives

Innocent people stand by not willing to give a hand because there hand won't bring him back to life

As time goes by people's cries turn into secrets for their eyes tell no lies

They just watched a man die.

People are scared cause they don't know why

Afraid it will haunt them for the rest of their lives

Only if it could be justified as in why the man died

There was no time to say good bye

As the white sheet covers his eyes

You can only hope the bugs don't get the best of him

Police collecting testimony from every one that standby

Only to find out stress is why the man died
