I knew a kid, from out in the banks, he was, A little quiet, didnโ€™t think too much, about it, Heโ€™d sit alone at lunch, and throughout it, he would, Be solely focused on his book he wouldnโ€™t go without it, I wondered what words he might write down, Cosโ€™ words are more important when theyโ€™re not typed out, On the cover he had drawn a pretty girl in a white gown, And if the book got soaked when it rained then she might drown And all those other boys well they donโ€™t like him, They think heโ€™s strange cos he dresses like a viking, And anything heโ€™d say they would put a spike in, His vampires heart and strike it down like lightning. As the days go on, heโ€™s dressed in black, Avoiding thinking about having to go back, Home, is not where his heart is, plaque, His mother only remembered on the wall on a rack, And his dad has been a little angry ever since, Has too many unhappy happy hours to convince, Himself, heโ€™s okay, all the bruises, he presses, on his child's body, takes away, some pain, just a little bit. Heโ€™s done - The kid snaps it all off so clean, Heโ€™s ready to act out whats been playing in his dreams, Heโ€™s ready for these people to be running make them scream, Once heโ€™s done it all only then can he be free, He stops buy his uncles to pick up the gat, Shoots his uncle in the chest and then shoots the cat, Turns around the corner and goes back to his dads, Hits him on the head and shoots him through his cap.
