bang bang we're dead

I do not know why they were all
killed
Or with what sin they must have
been filled
I do not remember holding the
gun
Or how fast or which way that I
tried to run

I do not remember looking back
Or planning it out or wanting them
gone
I only recall that I could not be
helped
That they had no power, no power
at all

I only remember the crying for
one
I only remember the dying for
one
But he was not them and they
were not him
Maybe that's why they died, maybe
that was their sin
