Lyrics

Hello? Mama, it's me Charles! I'm sorry it's late No, no, we're awake I just needed to hear your voice Oh, it's so good to hear from you, baby Oh, you'll never guess who's here, hold on What's going on, boy? A lot, Chester, a whole lot Maybe I'll come home and tell you all about it As a matter of fact, I'm coming home right now, motherfucker What are these tears? Where did they come from? From a walled-off place, from another time From a boy who couldn't cry Shame held down so long, I nevеr thought it would come out But here it is, but hеre they are Tears of anger and shame A banner of pain Tears from a walled-off place, from another time The boy who couldn't cry And someone must die Bullets, blood, and death Bullets, blood, and death I was seven years old Left alone to wonder for the rest of my life, what was my role in this betrayal? Did I bring this on myself? Is it the cause of this wanting? The shapes that haunt my nights, asking, "What's going on, boy?" And the boy doesn't cry 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
