We woke up as men but tonight we'll sleep as killers. As we break the cryptic morning with a bullet and a prayer, the steel never seemed more cold and agile than now and my life never seemed less vital and fragile. With a heart that's beating louder than my own, I watch a girl they call Kezia; I watch a woman that I know. My hopes and my own future blindfolded to atone for a sin I didn't care for, but a sin that paid my debts, a sin that fed my children and burned my smiles and cigarettes

& no one ever said I'd have to pull the trigger.
