He was a clean cut kid
he didn't leave any scars
he was so easy to break
he was her little mason jar
so fun to cover
his mind was like a steel trap
slicing through hot butter
his super model rat
was anorexic fat
why do I always ask such stupid questions
to which I already know the answer?
was whatever the word that counted down to zero?
or do we all in the end get brain cancer?
he would use the belt
then fall crying to the ground
but she was the only one
who would kick him when he was down
but he'd get right back up
and carry her to the funny farm
all wrapped up, she bled
as she lay crying in his arms
feeling so safe from harm
why do I always ask such stupid questions
to which I already know the answer?
did you ever know that he was once my hero?
but is a cold corpse really an answer?
