He Died Today
 
My ex died today
I don’t know what to say
The father of my two children
With two stepchildren
I don’t know if there was a siren
I think he died upon risen
I don’t know if they gave him oxygen


My ex died today
I don’t know what to say
He gave his children no pay
I did pray
I don’t even feel gray
He did stray
He did betray
His house smelt like an old ashtray
So my daughter would say
He would take a lot of pain pills throughout the day
There was no breath in his airway
I fear he went the other way
His soul sent astray
