Behind the Walls

Look at him

Look past his walls

Trying to hide

To disappear in the halls

They say he's angry

Can't they see the hurt?

He's seen so much pain

Been pushed into the dirt

His mama is at home

She's overdosed again

Lying in bed

Covered in cocaine

He's scared to go home

His father hits him

He can't get away

On broken whim

Hiding in music

He makes it through the day

Fighting the world  

Trying to stay

Wearing long sleeves

To cover the scars

He wants to diappear

Go beyond the stars

He loved this one girl

But she can't love him back

She is beyond perfect

And his world is black

They call him dumb

Can't they see

He fights everyday

Is it only me?

He can't take it

The pain is too strong

One last day

To turn right to wrong

Pills in one hand

A knife in the other

Someone stop him

He needs his mother

Too young to die

Lost his fight

One last chance

Make wrong, right
