i teared up as i read that. i wish i had words like you. i feel like you're building something when you write, like it's more than scribbling.

When the swingset hit his head
The neighbors they adored him

Rotting fast in their sleep of the dead
Twenty-seven people, even more
They were boys with their cars, summer jobs
Oh my God

Are you one of them?

He dressed up like a clown for them
With his face paint white and red
And on his best behavior
In a dark room on the bed he kissed them all
He'd kill ten thousand people
With a sleight of his hand
Running far, running fast to the dead
He took of all their clothes for them
He put a cloth on their lips
Quiet hands, quiet kiss
On the mouth

And in my best behavior
I am really just like him
Look beneath the floorboards
For the secrets I have hid

you have to get it from kelly if you haven't heard it. but your thoughts are beautiful. i hate to add to them, but that song is very cool.
