Three times...

You chose this all three damn times.

How many lives?

How many lives did you bet in the voting line?

/

But that's not how the bargain works...

You say "all lives matter,"

But you didn't care about hers.

You thought you were the exception,

You thought your loyalty meant something...

And now she's buried in the dirt.

/

Did you even think?

Did she ever cross your mind

When you were voting away her rights?

Did you even think?

Did you ever second-guess?

Are you wondering now

If you voted for the bullet in her head?

/

Three fucking times...

You chose the thin blue line.

How many times

Did she beg you to change your mind?

/

But that wasn't how it was supposed to go...

You say "all lives matter,"

But they didn't care about hers.

You thought she would safe from them,

You thought your loyalty meant something.

And now she's buried in the dirt.

/

Did you even think?

Did she ever cross your mind

When you voting away her rights?

Did you even think?

Did you ever second-guess?

Are you wondering now

If you voted for the bullet in her head?

/

The only good thing that came out of you is her...

I hope the pain never leaves you, it's what you deserve.

All she wanted was to be loved on this Earth.

But her hateful mother sold her out and voted for her murderer.

/

Did you even think?

Did she ever cross your mind

When you voting away her rights?

Did you even think?

Did you ever second-guess?

Are you wondering now

If you voted for the bullet in her head?
