Did Not See it Coming

Did not see it coming
that yellow rumbling machine
ripping through brick, no rx unhealthy glass and stone
had to find a new home
in a new town
in an old tent

Did not see it coming
that tall gray wall
ripping through the school yard
life gets a little more hard
but the books were too much to afford either way
not on what father makes anyway

I did not see it coming
I did not see it coming
Cast a stone
Break a bone
Die alone
Bloody
Hoping the world will hear

Did not see it coming
sneaky bullet
that hot hard lead ripping through
scar tissue, treatment treatment cartilage and bone
found itself a new home
in a lung
vacant

I did not see it coming
I DID NOT SEE IT COMING
Without a home
These sins atoned
Pray the Lord
Pull a cord
Bloody
Hoping rent is cheaper in heaven
