Spark, smiles, the whole arson bit,
As the smoke fades out, the memories go with it.
Blackened, Blue, a crime of hatred,
DNA left as an indication.
Knives, needles, where the kids play,
Mud gets made by a rainy day.
Acid, foils, baby youll love this,
A coma coming if you abuse the substance.
Rebellion, rohypnol, and the closing eyes,
Rich girl punished and shes sick inside.
But things get worse than this I tell you,
Colours switch from yellow to red... to black to blue.
If you could see their faces, and their minds...what went though,
You might take a second... but forget the image in two.
Hit, Run, report filed... inaccurate,
A family torn by a drunken accident.
Steal, Fly, where does he get what he spends?
Drug dependence has him sell out friends.
Pride, power, petty cash funded fantasy,
Little girl sells herself, to feed her family.
Adorn the white hood, attend the meetings,
10 Candles burn for 10 racial beatings.
Taste, Drown, Alcohol and the gas fumes,
His own children they lay, limp in the bathroom.
But things get worse than this I tell you,
If you could see their faces, and their minds...what went though,
You might take a second... and this image is in you,
You might cry for them when you see it, but only do for you.
