*Through a third party's perspective*

He ran home watching his back

Holding his knife in a death grip

He tiptoed around his father and trying not to make any twigs crack

He tiptoed around his father and tried not to trip

Up to his room he went

Through the window and time he spent

In that very room waiting for a bell

And to that room he said farewell

He could never tell his father the secret he learned

And if he wrote it down, that paper would have to be burned

For Sophie's sake, he'd keep his mouth shut

To keep her from ever being treated like a mutt
