John was a drunken psychopath filled with a wrath unknown to him
Forgetting the reason was the effect of his drinking
He would beat his wife at the merest hint of strife
Strike her until she was an inch away from losing her life
Shirley was a beautiful girl who would have received the world
From admirers who fell in love with her radiance like a pearl
Were it not for her abuse as a child her character would not be as wild
She wouldn’t be such a slut and her anger for herself would be mild
Erik was war veteran who had seen death one too many times
As he tried to lose his mind in drugs his sanity was left behind
So now he wanders the streets looking for a quick fix
A bum reduced to nothing living only for his drug kicks
Stephanie was a born princess spoiled to the bone
Mom and dad were never home her kindness a dark stone
She spent money as if it helped her to drown her lone pain
Became depressed as she finds out that AIDS found its way in her veins
Steve was a fighter by profession and his child was his succession
And as his last fight struck him down with a concussion
He hated the sport but his child believed in his fighting style
His dad in his rage tested his child and he killed him with a smile
Lillian was born with nothing and raised in war
Before she could walk she received her first scar
As she tries to make sense of her surroundings
At the age of 5, she died as a bomb found her surroundings
Alex was a prodigy of intellect
Every mathematical issue or problem he could dissect
The pressure to perform got to him and now he does sing
Of numbers and calculations in the loony bin
Daisy was a normal child with a normal childhood
She was also living proof that this wasn’t always good
As she drowned in the sea which was her own commonness
She murdered 15 people and left one as a witness
The tales told all unfold the fact that the track we are at
Isn’t one where you can easily say I’ll stay on that
Changes will make you worry and even pissed
Which reinforces the fact that a happy ending doesn’t exist
