(The five stages of grief is a common psychological model
Often used to revive reassurance to all those stricken by loss
For loss comes with a cost like frostbite shockingly cold
Paving the road to de-composure, decomposing the soul)
One: denial, pretending for a while
Reality retired
But everything is changing
Richy lost the will to smile
How to reconcile, when murdering a child?
(The second stage is anger, feel it bubbling the bile)
Anger damned the man that served the hand, that wrote the plan
If God is will, there's good and grand
We're damned, we are, we all are damned
Forsaken by creation, revelations Richard can not stand
The third stage is bargaining, begging God for second chance
"Lord, I know it is a reach, but I'm begging on my knees
Resurrect the boy James, resurrect the boy Screech
I'll devote my life to thee, I will live a life of peace"
Stage four is depression, that's a lesson taught in grief
Depression, demonic like possession
It feeds upon his spark for life, no water is refreshing
No sunlight brings him warmth, no sleep will ever bring restin'
His guilt and doubt are, oh, so loud, the silence sounds so deafenin'
Depression, depression, the numbing of expression
The negative obsession ruminating in oppression
Stressing is a lesson when your mind begins reflecting
That's stage number five, five is acceptance
