“It’s so quiet, you could hear for miles”
.

Its Quiet, the streets are empty, a smell is in the air
Clouds passing the sun, a feeling of crucifiable anger and despair
No gleafull, no smile, no happy in sight, no children, no play, no games or bikes
Just a dry deceptive mood, of which, I’ve never seen the likes
A car battered and beaten, lies on the other side of town
In a cloud of smoke and fire, from a single piercing round
A child and a mother, trapped with in this hell
Scream the deepest screams, my heart has ever felt
Flesh melts away, bones become brittle and break
Alone stands this unforgivable, unforgettable, so regrettable mistake

In a room cold and pale, with a mirror and a desk
Sits a boy lost and lonely, counting every breath
Regrets begin to stress, as the time and pressure sets
For a choice, from a challenge, from peers with no respect
Causes a boy to hold a gun, and blast his dreams away
And take the life from mother and child, in a reprehensible remiss way
Twists of a doorknob, sounds of clinking shoes
Detective and a partner, walk in with awkward news
You may leave they say, your parents are in the hall
Thoughts drowning in the sound of freedom behind the wall
Steps to his father, father says we’re going home
.

The boy heads home as he passes another room
With a man in a flannel shirt, whom apears to never groom
Screams from an officer, in the face of this average man
Grabbing his hand and slamming it often and
Jerkin is head, until its worked into red
This is ubsurd he says, it’s worthless, sure their dead
But I didn’t do it, I wasn’t there, this isn’t fair
The officer says, it was what it was and it is what is
and if it wasn’t, than why was the gun stashed in your rig
.

As the boy arrives home, his friend awaits
With a crooked smile, like a devil, with a lost soul to take
Why are you here the boy asks, his friend then paused
Pulled him to the side, and said, covering the shit you caused
Me the boy says, like you didn’t do nothing
You‘re the one who pushed me, you said I was bluffing
But its ok now, says the friend, the gun I chucked
Fuck, I even threw it in some old dirty dueds truck
How can you say that, with a proudly vivid stand
I mean, I killed two people, and you framed an innocent man
