In touch with the ground I’m on a hunt down after you Smell like I sound I’m lost in a crowd. And I’m hungry like the wolf. Straddle the line in discord and rhyme I’m on a hunt down after you. Mouth is alive with juices like wine And I’m hungry like the wolf ---

Uncle Jack, the sun is red. My bag is packed and on my bed. They’re taking me away from you and I don’t know why. Uncle Jack, they hate you so. You fought to keep me here I know. And now we must accept it and I’ll try. Uncle Jack, I’m very young, so much to learn, so hard to know what’s true. Uncle Jack, I love you. I’ll remember all of this, I’ll follow you. It won’t matter if they hate me too. ---

Some days won’t end ever and some days pass on by, I’ll be working here forever, at least until I die.
