Exhaustion proves stronger than my will 

Desire will not be rewarded with slumber, 

Laying upon my deathbed like roadkill. 

Nightly, staring at the bottle filled pill, 

I remember the dreams of a youngster

Exhaustion proves stronger than my will 

Carving into my skin the sigil

Blood rushing out, I realize my blunder, 

Laying upon my deathbed like roadkill. 

My last breath leaves my lips with a chill

Watching my mother fade into somber

Exhaustion proves stronger than my will

Pressing my chest, my life they try to refill

Tears fill their eyes as they reach for the cutter

Laying upon my deathbed like roadkill

Sorrow tears turn to an angry shrill

Will they learn of their guilty murder?

Exhaustion proves stronger than my will

Laying upon my deathbed like roadkill
