about

My first track collaborating with Todd Erickson for his label, Rock Garden Records.

lyrics

Twleve years old and running wild, The Kid knows its no joke
His friends behind him got a knife up to his throat
Betrayed afraid he’s gotta talk his way out of here
But the Kid gets out in one piece cuz he never shows no fear

But it leaves a mark
That you can’t see
A lesson not
A lesson not forgotten easily

His stepdad’s got him on the wall way off his feet
Tells him how he’ll kick his ass the day he turns 16
That’s how he’ll show the Kid what its like to be a man
But he leaves them well before all that
And they do the best they can

But it leaves a mark…

That’s not his destiny
Not the way things have to be
Does he know he’s got a choice
Don’t have to listen to the

Voices rising words are flying
They sting and then they stick
Tears in her eyes she asks the Kid why
He’s gotta be such a dick

Cuz it leaves a mark….
