Grim drops slowly through the window His front door's broken, the lock is gone On the way home from school he saw an omen It told him tonight would be long.
Grim shouts his mother get your lazy **** over here And Grim shouts his father get in here and bring me a beer.
Grim drops his schoolbag and walks to the kitchen And plonks down a beer on the table for father to drink With his TV show watching the Simpsons As mother lies hazily under the influence Grim leaks slowly up the staircase Into his room with the chain on the door
He pours himself into bed, lies on his back He looks at the clock and he's sure Eleven eleven, it's one one one one It's the omen his demons have told him about
Wish on a star they said, and if that doesn't work Wait til the clock pulls you out of all doubt.
Grim waits for nightfall He doesn't have dinner He's been getting thinner But no one has seen.
He seeps from the bedroom Down stairs and through hallways He knows he is going where he hasn't been.
Grim please don't do it his friends would all say (If he had any friends but he doesn't)
You know teachers despair of him Teenagers laugh at him Old ladies scared of him
GO ****** GO
Grim sets his face to determined He runs down the path to the cliff He launches himself from the edge and he flies
For a wonderful moment A heartrending moment A glorious screamingly awesomest moment
