Suicide Scene

Suicide Scene By the time they found him He’d been dead for two days Poor bastard blew his head off A shotgun blast through the mouth The basement door was open Looked like the dog got in The body was half eaten A very gruesome scene Clothing told us who it was Only way to identify There wasn’t much left of him I just don’t understand it Why the hell did he do it Why does someone kill themselves Everyone who loved him Is in anguish and pain His mother can’t even stand Under the weight of her grief His father isn’t speaking He’s just starring at the wall Oh, my god I hate this Look at his family They need to see a doctor Or this won’t be the end We must keep an eye on them Or they may try this too Get them to the hospital Hold them for observation We don’t need more suicides Someone go and find the dog See if it’s covered in blood If it’s been eating him It will have to be put down We need to rule out murder Start an investigation Check everybody’s background What they eat where they sleep I want to know everything This kid thought it’d be over After he pulled that trigger Yeah, that’s what they always think But it’s just over for them Now things are just beginning For the friends and family Life will never be the same For anyone who loved him They will all blame themselves Thinking they could have done more To prevent this tragedy Yeah sure kid, it’s over Imagine what they’re feeling I mean, can you even guess You think your reasons for this Can compare to what they feel Yeah maybe you were depressed But you don’t know depression Till you’ve experienced this What the hell were you thinking But you can’t answer, can you Though I bet you wish you could Thought it was just your life right Sorry, it don’t work that way A lesson, you learned too late Someone bring the body bag We’ve got work ahead of us
