Liquid Courage

Take hold of your last breath and keep it to yourself.
The time has come for you to know how much you're worth.
Behind this death machine you sit,
set to destroy.
Something so serious has just become your toy.
(It's not so easy, when you don't know what you've done)
This liquid courage overwhelming.
(It's not so easy, when what you've done is wrong)
Set for death you take this journey.
Stare out the window and watch the world go by.
Superman's behind the wheel on this joyride.
You never stopped to think if what you did was right,
the final moment when you ran the traffic light.
The screeching tires, the shattered glass,
the broken night that was to be your last.
What of this life you leave so carelessly behind?
The liquid courage left you senseless and blind.
