Child Killer

Where'd you put the body When the deed was done? What'd you have to say To lure him in? What kinda lies didja have to tell A tale syrupy-sweet? Was there any guilt at all As you held his little hand? Did you even start to stall Before spilling blood on the sand? You know you took him down Probably Better you than them You swear it's a mercy As you pull the blade But that story's getting thin So there's blood on your hands And now you're a man Now what's your plan? Child killer..... You start out your new life With some debt and a good wife Trying to never think of him Memories, you can hide But dreams sneak outside And play with your inner mind By the time you quit school Tired of being a tool Ten years had slid aside You can still hear his screams In your tattered, ragged dreams Echos that never died You know you took him down Probably Better you than them You swear it's a mercy As you pull the blade But that story's getting thin So there's blood on your hands And now you're a man Now what's your plan? Child killer..... Why'd ya do it?.... Where'd ya lay him?.... Why'd you lie? Who's the bad guy?.... Who's the victim?.... Who's this image in the mirror? You know you took him down Probably Better you than them You swear it's a mercy As you pull the blade But that story's getting thin So there's blood on your hands And now you're a man Now what's your plan? Child killer..... The world doesn't leave us much choice We have to kill our inner-child's voice Or they will do it for us I want to understand Is it better by my hand Than to have someone do it for me?
