Never be free

A dream I can't remember
Seems to be torturing my mind
I keep searching for this memory
Hoping its the one thing I won't find

I open my eyes its 3 A.M
I can hear the distant horn of a train
This horror is so hard to recount
Because it drove me utterly insane

I'm there because of you
You told me to meet you there
I sit here wishing I would have said no
As you stare at me with that blank stare

It was the wrong part of town
My home away from home
I struggle to breath as I recall
The shining of that ice cold chrome

You called me a minute before
To ask me if I brought my gun
When I asked why you hung up
The nightmare has begun

You sounded out of breath
But I just didn't know why
I never thought today
Would be the day I watched you die

You were running for your life
I still didn't know what this was about
Then I saw a truck full of people
I could hear the shots ringing out

I pulled out my pistol and ran
But I knew it was too late
Tears kept blurring my vision
Making it hard to see straight

They shot you three times
And barely missed your heart
But they hit your back
The bullets tore the flesh apart

Where are they
They're about to see pure rage
Six guys two in the tailgate
One holding the 12 gauge

My hand stopped shaking
And thats when I took aim
Three shots and only hit the driver
That really was a shame

Everyone else tried to run
But they didn't get too far
No more then six steps
Now they lay next to their car

Shot them in the legs
Just to watch them scream
"It's amazing that one kid
Took out your whole team"

I found the one who shot her
I wanted to see his eyes
I wanted me to be the last sight
He sees before he dies

I shot him in the chest
And ran back to my love
Just to watch her die too
I started to scream to the sky above

Why did you do it I asked him
He said we were after you
I kept screaming in my head
Swearing it wasn't true

But I knew it was
She died because of me
And this burden will follow me forever
I will never be free

believe what you want. the truth will die with me
