Another whispered word,

His torture getting worse

Blood boiling in his 13-year-old body,

Temptation pulled him to that tree.


Who knows how long he endured it?

Before he just gave up and called it quits.


He was just another kid, to the world,

Just another gay boy who was ridiculed.

All he is in their minds is weak;

The people without a soul to seek.

Callin' him out on his preferences,

Laughing at his differences.

He's missed by his brother,

Cherished by his mother.

Who probably want to join him in eternal rest,

Just to be with their beloved Seth.


Another negative term,

Used so coldly, he's hurt.

Ashamed to show his face.

Wanting to vanish from the human race.


Who knew how much it hurt him,

Until he broke down and gave in?


He was just another kid, to the world,

Just another gay boy who was ridiculed.

All he is in their minds is weak;

The people without a soul to seek.

Callin' him out on his preferences,

Laughing at his differences.

He's missed by his brother,

Cherished by his mother.

Who probably want to join him in eternal rest,

Just to be with their beloved Seth.


Another innocent, taken by the gallows,

Another pure soul, swallowed by the shadows.

The words, used so loose,

Ended up, tying his noose.

Not accepted for being himself.

By people carin' only about themselves.

Pushed to the side, by people feeling grossed.

Had enough, gave up the ghost.


He was just another kid, to the world,

Just another gay boy who was ridiculed.

All he is in their minds is weak;

The people without a soul to seek.

Callin' him out on his preferences,

Laughing at his differences.

He's missed by his brother,

Cherished by his mother.

Who probably want to join him in eternal rest,

Just to be with their beloved Seth.
