The Air Still Holds Death

A door is cracked Strips of light on black The still air holds death What led him to this Blood splatter analysis The still air holds death Was there no better way To face my mistakes To take away the pain That once held me here There's more I want to say Empty vessel here to stay Reliving that day forever here A note on the desk Near a body at rest The air still holds death Cherished items astray Emotions carried away The air still holds death Dusting for more Pooling on the floor Echos down the hall Of witnesses who heard it all Looked then placed the call Says he was a nice man Kept up as best he can He had a few friends Must have felt alone Maybe missed his home He never let it show You just never know The dark places people can go Until their last breath The air still holds death Was there no better way To face my mistakes To take away the pain That once held me here There's more I want to say Empty vessel here to stay Reliving that day forever
