Balsa Wood Bones

Somehow I can't forget, you picked my feet off the ground

You pushed my face in, and I nearly drowned

What did that teach me?

And I just won't forget, you were just mean from the start

You'd leave me bleeding in the park after dark

What did that teach me?

And somehow I can't forget, you'd laugh right into my tears

You'd call me sissy, then you'd call me a queer

What did that teach me?

And I just won't forget how it just made you feel good

To snap my bones like they were balsa wood

What did that teach me?

And somehow I didn't forget, I found out right where you live

I rang the buzzer and I let myself in

All that you taught me

And I will never forget the look of shock on your face

I pulled the trigger, and your life was erased

What did that teach you?
