Alternate End
Written by Marlon Chaplin

I wanted to call,
But my fear broke in and I stalled,
You,
Contemptuous and confused,
Had aligned your crosshairs to shoot,
Shoot,

Take me down to the range,
String me up when they call out your name,

In sight is what you thought we could be,
Now I'm far too obstructed for you to see me,
Nothing is left but the dregs,
I was unjaded - in over my head,
Dead,

I don't know where to come in,
How to speak,
How to think to begin,

Like you'd already confessed,
You let him watch while you'd undress,
Now what kind of tramp defines themselves by success?

I'd deceived and you'd believed,
Is this machine just a weapon to me?
Damaged,
Now I dare not ask,
Had your diatribe not taken me to task,

Perhaps there's an alternate end,
Some kind of twist,
Some kind of fold or a bend,

Like you'd already confessed,
You'd let him watch while you'd undress,
Now what kind of tramp defines themselves by success?
Oh now, you've gone done it again.
