“Walter, it’s time to talk about it”

I figure if I never mentioned it, then it never happened

Wore a thousand smiles a million times like it was nothing

My stomach swelled with thoughts of self-destruction

It was 1993, in an obscure house

My mother broke and my world fell apart

They spoke to me about capes amongst the stars

Then lured me with fleer ‘94 cards

Just a boy on that day

Just a boy

I would pray that one day

God would reach out and touch my face

But instead it was a stranger

That would take every ounce of innocence from me

“I’ll hurt your baby brother if you ever speak of this”

Even if I did, who would believe a homeless kid?

Those words ingrained in my soul

My world forever changed as they locked the door

I closed my eyes, I never spoke

Alone in a moment, buried in my mind

Now I don't cry, so no one knows

Wandering the world with only instinct to survive

Here I am

Roaming alone

Every step filled with shame
