Lyrics

Tears from a walled up place from another time
From a boy who couldn't cry
I never thought it would come out
But here it is
But here they are
Tears of anger and shame
A banner of pain
On my way to kill a man
Rusty pistol in my hand
A gun my mother gave me just in case
But mama's gun couldn't keep me safe
In a walled up place in another time
The boy who couldn't cry is crying now
And someone must die
Interstate 20
I've walked this lonely road a thousand times
But never so fast as with murder on my mind
A voice on the phone
What's going on, boy? What's going on?
Like nothing has happened
Like everything was fine
Shame held down too long, but betrayal doesn't die
Scratching to get up
Churning, boiling to get out
Now here it is
Now here they are
Tears of rage and revenge
And someone must die
Bullets, blood, and death, bullets, blood, and death
Prepare to die, motherfucker, prepare to die
And maybe the part of me I despise will die with you
