As I lay here
on the ground
trying my hardest
to look around

I see some lights
first blue then red
I hear the sirens
pounding in my head

I sense the chaos
unloved, uncouth
I feel the blood
pouring out my mouth

I feel the tears
that accompany pain
This throbbing and stinging
is driving me insane

As i fade away
and everything grows dim
I listen to his answers
as they interrogate him

I am going real fast
I can barely hear
I cringe as he says
"I shouldn't have had the last beer"

As they place me on the stretcher
and tow my car away
I see the bllod on the road
and realize I'll never again see day

In the cleanliness of the hospital
with the droning methodical beep
I take a breath and close my eyes
and drift off to eternal sleep
