I've killed one man,

I've killed two men,

What's the difference,

They're dead,

They'll remain dead.

 

I've been heartbroken,

Twice now,

But it doesn't matter,

Now that's it's broken,

It's going to shatter.

 

Daddy,

My sweet father,

You were the first,

I wish the last.

 

I've killed one man,

First it was the white needle,

The fluid that made you,

Neglect your children,

Now it's another.

 

He's brown eyed,

Unlike you,

I've killed him,

I've killed two,

You must understand.

 

Daddy,

You killed me,

You killed me first,

Made me a murderer at five years old.

 

Now it's another boy,

This one goes to a different fate,

Ignorant of his actions,

Falling into a trap,

Soon to be heartbroken.

 

Watch your step,

Don't choke,

You're sure to catch fire,

Playing with a murderer,

Playing with smoke.

 

A broken heart is ignorant,

And so are you,

I'd watch my step,

I've killed one man,

I'll kill two.
