It’s a feeling you can’t explain
A yearning to break out of here
To get out of the silence
It reflects in his eyes,
The murmur that echoes behind you;
your bones are grinding together

The anger after people won’t take you seriously
I could be lying
We wouldn't want to ruin his reputation
it's all about him

It’s all about his future
Never mine

At fourteen.
My childhood was still with me
But he killed it
Reality shattered
An entire future, gone

But it’s about his future
It was just one moment of weakness
But in the aftermath
All of my weaknesses
And all of my pain
is unimportant.

Think about his future...
