Why the Necklace of Rope
They walk down the hall,
You can't find a smile anywhere at all.
The principal doesn't know what to do,
She doesn't know how to tell the school about you.
The people that know are depressed and sad,
The ones that don't know think it might be bad.
But it is what it is, and they all have a question,
Was it that bad?
We know why you wore long sleeves and makeup...
It wasn't a very good cover up.
You didn't have to use that razor, You didn't have to make that cut.
There was no need to wear that necklace of rope,
No need, To give up all hope
So why did you?
