The Runaway Wild - God Rest the Youth

He was the high school's dead beat
All the kids called him the town freak
Had a face full of scars from his Daddy
Had a heart full of rage and envy
He'll burn down their world of fantasy
Turn their perfect lives to misery
Won't stop until he makes them bleed
How 'bout the prom king and queen? Yeah
They strayed far from lover's lane
Now it's tears, blood and shallow graves
Yeah, not much of them remains
A lock of hair and a promise ring, so
God rest the youth
Because a killer's on the loose
And he's gonna see it through
So God Rest the Youth
Well his hunger grows in threes
It feeds his Christ mockery
All bodies missing teeth
The bread of life, they can't eat, yeah
Three found floating in the creek
Another three left hanging in a hickory
Much too close to Main Street
So they know they better not sleep, yeah
God rest the youth
Because a killer's on the loose
And he's gonna see it through
So God Rest the Youth
God rest the youth
Because a killer's on the loose
And he's gonna speak his truth
So God Rest the Youth
You can't tame the beast
Whose ready for his feast
He's got his eye on something sweet
Like the daughter of the Police Chief
A delicious treat, carved up like a turkey
They'll search the woods for weeks and weeks and weeks
Yeah
God rest the youth
Because a killer's on the loose
And he's gonna see it through
So God Rest the Youth
God rest the youth
Because a killer's on the loose
And he's gonna speak his truth
So God Rest the Youth
