Edward Fischer
Porter-Gaud School
Charleston, SC




It's high school,
lots of fun
Oh look out!
what the fuck?

Invited me over -
thought that was nice
Had no idea -
your life was a lie
Fell into the trap -
into the night
No longer a child- forever outside

Got this black tar in me!

Slow motion nightmare - had no control
Just like a puppet -
I see it unfold
Modern day monster - wish you were dead
Mind is in turmoil -
But you laugh instead

Got this black tar in me!

Now it's college,
Lots of fun!
Must forget,
must get drunk!

No way to clean -
what you left inside
Wanna stop thinking -
no place to hide
Intimate moments became living hell
Reliving our contact, you're inside my head

Got this black tar in me!

Life had some mercy,
the gift of time
Washed some away, could finally cry
Don't wanna suffer, talking will help
Although it's hard,
I'll be free instead

Got this black tar in me!
