Teenagers, grow up fast, maybe too fast

Terry was at wits end
Dad was beating mom again
Goes to the drawer

Grabs a butcher knife
Intent was to take his life
Laid the old boy open wide

Police haul him a way
In a cell he has to stay
Sheet hangs from the bar

In a mental place
Pain and guilt upon his face
Mom comes to take him

Foster home is now his bed
Some guy tried to split his head
Cardboard box old man dead
