In the Walls

Selfish lies
To keep you inside
Selfish lies
I'll keep you
Oh, I see you when I sleep
You live inside a dream
In that world I'm someone different
Someone I could never be
Mixed up in a violent wind
You were thrown to the wolves
From my hands you start to slip
I did everything I could
Laid flat onto the earth
Everything decays
It was just you, me, and her
All of our suffering fades
I will hold on to that memory
Until your skin turns grey
I will keep you in my walls
Holding on until you slip away
(Slip away, slip away, slip away, slip away)
Hide you in my walls
I'll hide you in my walls
This brutal killing took place
While the family was gathered at home on a Sunday afternoon
The day of the crime
The father went to the trunk of his car, retrieved the rifle
And shot his wife as she was cleaning up the kitchen after lunch
When his ten-year-old son came to investigate the commotion
The father shot him, too
His six-year-old daughter had the good sense to hide in the bathroom
But reports suggest he lured her out by telling her it was just a game
The girl was found shot once in the chest from point-blank range
The mother, who he shot in the stomach, was pregnant at the time
Police arriving on scene after neighbors called 911
Found the father in his car listening to the radio
