Why You Ask? Because, The Internet. Lyrics

Tires SCREECH outside. Dude 2 stands up. There's a small crash outside

Yelling

VOICE: FREEZE!

GUNSHOTS

The Boy and Dude 2 look at each other

The Boy looks up at Dude 2,eyes watering uncontrollably as he closes his eyes & oddly envisions his time during camp as a kid. He remembers the letter he sent to the girl he fell for during camp. He scuffs as he brushes off these memories that he buried many years ago & snaps himself back into reality

Dude 2 walks towards the window to see what had happened outside

*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

The Boy didn't see much,just blood splatter on the wall & soon after the loud thump caused by Dude 2's collapsed,unconscious body

The Boy walks towards the window to see what has happened & feels a liquid on under his foot. He looks down to see blood running down his leg from his abdomen,he does not panic but rather falls backwards. Not unintentionally, he just couldn't bare standing no more

The Boy looks up & see's the spider that has left his room weeks ago,surrounded by eggs

The Boy:
"Hah...so that's where you went"

He laughs to himself as he drifts between life & death. He finally dozes off,soon to open his eyes to Naomi crying over his cold body
As The Boy closes his eyes for the last time in his short, anti-climactic life he see's "Roscoe's Wetsuit" written on Naomi's cast

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
