Debts

Defeater - Travels

It still looks the same here after all these years.

The junkies and the steamboat men

the sun never set on them here.

He walks to his rundown home

hell-bent to find his mother

but all that fear comes back when he is greeted by his brother.

"It's not the same here."

"Oh

i never thought you would come right to me. I've spent years on these docks just waiting after you left

we were left with nothing. Every day what you did ran through me. You selfish fuck. it's your fault

can't you see? Your addict mother is dead. now

are you happy? You're left with nothing. now. You'll pay your debt to me. You coward

cheating thief. Down at those long steel tracks

your life is my payback."

"I bet you wish you were dead."

They walk the rails with a gun to his head.

And so he lay on the ties

just waiting. those racing thoughts through his head came rushing.

He slips out from the weight of the elder.

The younger's fear once again toppled over.

And now it's his upper hand

he sees the steam overhead.

This will be the last the elder breathes again.

Roll on through

that train bearing down.

As it ended his days

he somehow knew it would always be this way.

So ends that cold heart's legacy.
