Howard's Tale (Explicit)

Howard's Tale - Sick Puppies

Age five just a little boy shy

Is he ready for the big surprise

He'll be playin' Lego in a dream

When the shadows come to life

Age nine then he should've been fine

With a secret he's sure to keep

Two times and they tell a little lie

For the sake of him and me

Now it's over

I need closure

Hey look what you did to me

While you were ticking me off

Gotta be stoned leave me alone

I'm waiting for mom to comfort me

But when I open my mouth

Don't say nothing

Age twelve and it isn't going well

Now he's three years to the day

Confused but unlike you

This feeling won't go away

Sixteen and the woman down the street

Has invited him to come inside

First time and it didn't feel right

It'll be the last time he tries

Hey look what you did to me

While you were ticking me off

Gotta be stoned leave me alone

I'm waiting for mom to comfort me

But when I open my mouth

Don't say nothing's wrong

I won't say nothing's wrong

I won't say I won't say

I won't say I won't say

I won't say I won't say

Seventeen and all he's ever seen is

A limit in between the lies

It's kind of funny how a mind

Can keep living in denial

Eighteen is a very strange scene

And he's still playin with the past

Expelled maybe someone could've helped

If someone had known to ask

Hey look what you did to me

While you were ticking me off

Gotta be stoned leave me alone

I'm waiting for mom to comfort me

But when I open my mouth

Don't say nothing

Nineteen and he's innocently

Parked right beside a school

He stares at a boy sittin' there

And the boy stares at him too

He walks over

He needs closure
