All These Kids I Never Knew

When the shots rang out
 All I heard was rain on my windowsill
 In the passing days
 Before the blood dried
 There was all this will
 You can share a picture
 And show how much you care
 To be shot in the back
 While you are running away
 To be fat and scared
 Saddest man running
 I have ever seen
 Who's gonna stand a chance
 I wouldn't have, no one ever would
 When your fate lies in the hands
 Of a black heart hanging inside
 To be so proud in your hateful form
 Big grown man, small as an ant
 It's a long ride home
 This year from the pride parade
 And the streetlights shine
 Onto soft skin and young lovers' wills
 Who you gonna tell who to love
 When everyone's just trying
 To feel alright
 Since I was a kid I have fought
 A darkness I would never shake
 When there is so little left to feel
 But from the touch
 Of the one you trust
 It is a long life
 To be handled like old shoes
 And they are all these kids
 All these kids I never knew
