I WAS ALWAYS THE QUIET ONE
I NEVER WISHED ANYONE HARM
I TOOK ALL YOUR ATTITUDE
I TOOK YOUR PATRONISING
AND MAKING FUN BEHIND MY BACK
SO WHAT WENT THROUGH MY MIND
AS I LEFT WORK THAT DAY?
WELL, I KNEW THINGS HAD TO CHANGE
AS I SAT IN MY EMPTY ROOM
FROM ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
I MADE UP MY MIND
AS THE SUN ROSE ON A FRESH, NEW DAY
I FED THE CAT AND LET HER OUT TO PLAY
I WASHED THE BREAKFAST BOWLS
AND
STACKED THEM NEATLY AWAY
I PACKED MY BAG IN THE SAME NEAT WAY
I LOCKED THE DOOR BEHIND ME
AS I DO EVERY DAY
NOW EVERYTHING LOOKS GREY FROM HERE ON THE FLOOR
THE FAMILY PORTRAITS, CIRCLES ON THE CALENDAR
YOU WON'T NEED ANYMORE
AND AS THE SCREAMS DIE DOWN AND THE SIRENS FADE AWAY
FROM ABOVE THE RINGING IN MY EARS, I HEAR SOMEONE SAY
"THERE MUST BE SOME MISTAKE
IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE
HE ALWAYS KEPT HIMSELF TO HIMSELF
HE'S NEVER BEEN IN TROUBLE BEFORE"
THEY BLAME RELIGION, THEY BLAME SOCIETY
THEY SAY THAT I WENT MAD!
BUT I NEED YOU TO KNOW THAT IT WAS ALL Me.........
