Can somebody help me?

Somebody help me,

somebody help me,

Need a SOS

Can somebody help me?

Somebody help me

Never knew what it was like to feel

this agony.

Never knew what it was like to lose

my sanity.

Who knew that you were capable of

taking something so sentimental,

so tender,

so young.

And then act like a "grown man".

Little did anyone know,

you are the shit I clean from my cats litter.

Now I have this desire to exterminate the same thing

you took from me,

but nah,

I'll let someone else do it.

Can somebody help me?

Somebody help me

somebody help me,

Need a SOS

Trees rustling over his head

as the nightfall begin to grow.

The ruggedness of the park bench

was all too familar.

He often had thoughts of that

shiny lurker.

"Why me?" He cried out.

As he thought back,

he wondered if this might be karma.

Had he not stolen from his family,

maybe he wouldn't be here.

Looking at people living happy lives,

enjoying freedom.

Looking at how he just let go.

He didn't know a few slots would

land him here.

Facing life,

and crying for help.

Can somebody help me?

Somebody help me

somebody help

somebody.
