2.45

and you went up the ladder
i decided to go down it
whatever way i could 
seeking out the most disturbed 
and down trodden people i could find ... 

youth is too good to be wasted on the young 
my hopeful ambitious grandfather told me 
and that was how i interpreted it 

i would have a bloody better time 
in the ghetto 

ghetto ... or just the edge of one really 
the violence i saw was probably 
just a preview ... 

i mean i only 
got locked in and threatened 
with scissors and watch someone kick 
his mothers head in during the small hours 
and had my fingers bitten like real torture 

you know when you 
scream and it sound like 
like not a human like a beast or something  

and friends would scale the walls 
to find me
