Terence

20 years old said goodbye to his family

Went to the shop to buy a paintbrush

This kid never came home

18 years on the family still seeking justice for this case

Cover ups and fresh layer of paint

Tell a different story altogether

Beaten to a pulp in a jail cell

Thugs with badges and a make shift rope

We'll get you someday shouted from a passing car

No justice or persons held accountable

Another shadowed case hidden by the state

He walked into that cell and never walked back out

Another broken family failed by the state

And an innocent kid doesn't kill himself

And an innocent kid just doesn't kill himself

A fresh layer of paint and make shift rope tells a different story and your day will come

And your lies will unravel and be exposed

Unanswered questions and many brokenhearted

A case left to be forgotten protecting the ones responsible

And how can this story not break your heart?

Never stop fighting for the justice you deserve

This world is a dark fucking place

And an innocent kid doesn't kill himself

An innocent kid doesn't fucking kill himself

No trust in a government who care more about themselves

And this kid was thrown into a cell

As innocent as me and you

18 years on and still no justice

18 years on and still no fucking justice

And this is a song for Terence

And this is a song for fucking Terence

And this is a fucking song for Terence
