A lifetime
A thousand screams rolled into one
Resonating now and forever in your head
A life time of regret echoed in your eyes
A multitude of pain fused into your veins
Guilt sears your heart and rips your conscience to shreds
A parents stricken face burns into your retina
Your best friends face does not sustain life
Terror seizes your throat when they pull out the body bags
A child is torn from the car, never to play again
Carnage, wreckage, pain, hate
You are punished for now and eternity
They hate you
You hate yourself
You can take your own life
If you have to escape the pain
But your drunken driving has caused a lifetime
Of un-erasable torment
Resonating now and forever in your head
A life time of regret echoed in your eyes
A multitude of pain fused into your veins
Guilt sears your heart and rips your conscience to shreds
A parents stricken face burns into your retina
Your best friends face does not sustain life
Terror seizes your throat when they pull out the body bags
A child is torn from the car, never to play again
Carnage, wreckage, pain, hate
You are punished for now and eternity
They hate you
You hate yourself
You can take your own life
If you have to escape the pain
But your drunken driving has caused a lifetime
Of un-erasable torment
