Clint's Last Lie

In a town where shadows creep,

Lived a boy named Clint, never learned to keep,

His stories straight, wild tales in the night,

A king of lies, lost in his own plight.

Clint with a grin, always had a scheme,

Spinning webs of stories, living in a dream,

Skipped school like it was a game,

A rebel without a cause, never felt the shame.

Riding high on borrowed time,

But the clock was ticking loud, created by his crime,

Chasing ghosts, he danced with fate,

Didn’t know he was flirting with a heavy weight.

Oh Clint, oh Clint, where did you go wrong?

Chasing the high, thinking you were strong,

Drowning in shadows, lying to the end,

But the truth cuts deep, no one left to mend.

Gambling chips stacked up on dust,

Friends turned to foes, in betrayal he must trust,

A fist in the night, the echo of pain,

Clint thought he was winning, but it was always a game.

Riding high on borrowed time,

But the clock was ticking loud, created by his crime,

Chasing ghosts, he danced with fate,

Didn’t know he was flirting with a heavy weight.

Oh Clint, oh Clint, where did you go wrong?

Chasing the high, thinking you were strong,

Drowning in shadows, lying to the end,

But the truth cuts deep, no one left to mend.

A dark alley whispered a sinister tune,

Promises broken under a sliver of moon,

Someone did him a favor, silenced him last,

No more deceiving, no more debts amassed.

Oh the tales they’ll tell of Clint in this town,

A boy who wore lies like a crooked crown,

But when darkness fell, he played his last card,

With a heart full of trouble, and a life left scarred.
