Sick Puppies - Howard's Tale Sick Puppies - Howard's Tale |
| Age 5, Just a little boy shy
Is he ready for the big surprise?
He’ll be playing lego in a dream
when the shadows come to life
Age 9, And he should’ve been fine
with a secret he’s sure to keep
Two times had to tell a little lie
for the sake of him and me
Now it’s over
I need closure
Hey! Look what you did to me
When you were taking me home, getting me stoned, leave me alone
I waited for mum to comfort me
But when I opened my mouth
"Don’t say nothing, SHH"
Age 12 and it isn’t going well, now it’s 3 years to the day
Confused, but unlike you this feeling won’t go away
16 and the woman down the street has invited him to come inside
The first time it didn’t feel right, it’ll be the last time he tries
Hey! Look what you did to me
When you were taking me home, getting me stoned, leave me alone
I waited for mum to comfort me
But when I opened my mouth
Don’t say, "Nothing’s wrong"
I won’t say nothing’s wrong
I won’t say, I won’t say, I won’t say, I won’t say,
I won’t say, I won’t say
17, all he’s ever seen is living in between the lies
It’s kind of funny how a mind can keep living in denial
18 is a very strange scene, he’s still playing with the past
Expelled, maybe someone could’ve helped if someone had known to ask
Hey! Look what you did to me
When you were taking me home, getting me stoned, leave me alone
I waited for mum to comfort me
But when I opened my mouth
"Don’t say nothing, SHH"
19 and he’s innocently parked right beside a school
He stares at a boy sitting there and the boy stares at him too
He walks over
He needs closure |
