Junior High Lament

it was not so immediate but she could feel the warmth
of the blood moving in from somewhere above
behind the football stadium and the bright lights dimmed
another fight is gonna land her back in hell again
time such a beautiful lie
find me a beautiful lie
all her friends gathered round as all her enemies ran
they told her You look like a Boy (deliver the savior girl)
12 years old will she look to the sky to sees the stars spinning
circles
and the moon falling towards her
time such a beautiful lie
find me a beautiful lie
cry the river it’s for you for you for you for you for you
it’s the devil in their souls
(that brings them to commit these crimes)
it’s not about me it’s not about me
but I’ve seen the way she looks
and she’s looking straight at me now.
