The Devil Made Me Do It

Danny:

Everybody get on the FUCKING ground cause I got a Glock cocked and I’m not playing

And for anyone that believes in God stop praying

Cause today it’s just the Devil & I, I’m here to revel in my, devilish side, 

The heavens aligned, this is the end of the line

Get your hands out your pockets, toss the purses and wallets

I don’t want to withdraw, I’m here to make a deposit

Bullets & slugs buried in your mullets & mugs, 

Shell casings encased in every foot of the rug

I’ve had enough of living, I’m finally pulling the plug

And you’re all on this journey with us, we’ll be your guides

Please keep your hands and feet inside and enjoy the ride

I don’t care for sob stories or if your children cry

We all live and die, but not everyone gives in to the inner villain that lives inside

That sinner’s side, the sinister cynical life is quite demanding

I’m the most despicable criminal ever to wal—”

Demon:

You’re rambling

Danny:

God damn it that was so good, why’d you interrupt me?

So abruptly, I’ll get there, why can’t you just trust me?

Demon:

I’m just saying buddy, you flew past the point

Kill them all & trash the joint, then you’ll be the last to join

They’re all about to die, they don’t care what you have to say

They don’t care which of your family and friends have passed away

They don’t need your whole back story, just blast forty,

Clips from the hip and make this blood bath gory

Let’s just get to the bank already before it’s traffic galore

Give ‘em hell, what the hell are you practicing for?

Danny:

I just want to create a memorable scene. Give the world something to remember a fiend.

A monster that’s never redeemed, yeah that better be me.

I’ve been stared through too many times, but they’ll get it soon

That same feeling when I’m staring through their exit wounds

Demon:

Man you’ve grown pretty ruthless, let’s do this.

Get in the car, no more excuses.

Danny:

Screw it, I’ve had it up to here, I’m mad enough to tear. Nothing’s ever gone my way before, it’s time to cut the complaining short, I’ve had this internal fight for months but at least now I’ll have some fucking control in my life for once. I’ll be the one inflicting the welts, I’ll turn these sheep into linen & pelts. I’ve been pushed to the edge and dangled off the ledge. I’ll show them all what it’s like to fear for your life and have no one reach a hand out to help. Steal any closure they could hope for because I lack accountability. The devil is a lie. I just passed responsibility. See the truth is I know there’s no demon on my shoulder and definitely no angel to cool me over. All these scribblings that I’ve jotted are the thoughts I’ve been allotted. Just be glad I had an outlet for my expression cause I don’t know who I’d be without it.  I’ve always been a moment from snapping; I gave myself an excuse for when it happened. A method to the madness so when they wonder why there’s only one response I’ll answer back with.
