When life departs
Where does one even begin to start;
                                                           the healing.
Those left behind masked and basked in burning feeling.
  
   A hanged man
   A hanged man

How does one justify a hanged man.
A man who seemingly had everything, but became a brand.
A bathrobe belt around his neck tied to a doorknob in a french hotel, ****.

   A hanged man
   A hanged man

A man who had everything,
Yet a heart full of pain, searing.
We may only see the outside.
The inside is hidden from us, tearing.
The cries for help ignored, no hearing.  
The inevitable demise pushed out of our minds, fearing.
  
   A hanged man
   A hanged man
   A hanged brand

How do we accept a hanged man,
a man who had everything.
