Bars Around His Neck

by Nick 198   Aug 26, 2004


As you shed the skin of him
Layers and layers he goes down
For every time you made him feel
Like he was nothing

As the blood drops get bigger
As the streams come into one
I don't think you know it's possible
This is your own son

You strangle him with words
You tangle him with fear
You hurt him inside
Thought you said you loved him dear

As his thoughts get blacker
As his mind gets near
At the moment when
You have too much to fear

He does it
In one single breath
He goes to his death
By the rope around his neck

The family ashamed
Of there fellow son
They wish him back
He was there only one

To think what they did wrong
Both sit down and cry
Both think to themselves
They were believing in lies
Told by the heart
Seen by the soul
There son's death
Leading to there death row
