He killed a girl

In his eyes you find the snapshot,
Of a night with terror and gasoline.
Alcohol and razor blades,
A Chevy pick-up and a canteen.

From every attack.
He killed a girl
With blood beneath her nails.

In ripped jeans and flip flops

With lips as blue as the sky
Watching the life drain out of her
As she began to cry.

With his very own hands
He killed a girl,
But that wasn't part of the pla
