I was born the first of five

But only I made it to adulthood

All of my younger sisters and my brother

Perished before my fourteenth summer

All mysteriously disappeared

But I and only I know where they are

I grew up as a happy child

Carefree, spirited and full of joy

Blood on my hands is what fueled my soul

I took spirit away and I swallowed it whole

The essence of youth contained in homicide

My smile was always brightest the moment they died

When I was 4 I hit my little sister in the head with a rock

Motionless her body went but with emotion I was struck

On that day began a killing spree

On that day something was born in me

When I was 6, my brother disappeared

No trace, my parents wept and I found them weird

I knew however that if I told the truth

I would become unpopular and gone would be my youth

When I was 10 my youngest sister and I had a falling out

She got really mad because I said I don't wanna play right now

She threw a hissy fit and screamed at me I hate you

To shut her up I strangled her until her skin was blue

I had just turned 13 and only one other was left

She stole spotlight and I condemned her theft

I said we're the only ones now, but there's only room for you or me

And since I was older and stronger I hung her from a tree

Blood on my hands is what fueled my soul

I took spirit away and I swallowed it whole

The essence of youth contained in homicide

My smile was always brightest the moment they died

I am now grown and alone

And all joy I used to feel is gone

No purpose, no family, no love, no life

Until the day my caseworker found me a job

Substitute teacher in a small kindergarten

They needed a temporary until a new one could be hired

I said yes and went to work on Monday

And I loved it

Hi

Hi

Hi

Hi everybody

Die

Die

Die

Die everybody

Die everybody

Die everybody

Red is my gaze

All those little children

The sweetest little dead face

I'm so glad I killed them

Desecrated in so many ways

A bewildering mayhem

My frozen heart now sat ablaze

Reignited once again

Blood on my hands is what fuel my soul, I take spirit away and I swallow it whole

The essence of youth now sent to the sky. my smile is always brightest the moment they die

Blood on my hands is what fuel my soul, I take spirit away and I swallow it whole

The essence of youth now sent to the sky, my smile is always brightest the moment they die
