cordero roman - save me lyrics

i close my eyes, go rewind back to the days in middle school
where every kid is cruel
happily attacking the weak and miserable
the popular crew reigned supreme, thinking “yeah this sh-t is cool!”
i look back now, sick to my stomach, how they treated him was pitiful
david came to our school in 8th grade, an easy target
they said his hair was thick and slimy like a greasy carpet
they shoved him in the f-cking trash can like a piece of garbage
no beef was startin’
they were just teasing, they were just feasting off it
see david had a cleft palate, he had a speech impediment
duh duh david!
they’d sarcastically try to teach him rhetoric
diagnosing the state his head is in by force-feeding him medicine
they mentally broke that motherf-cker down until they reached the sediment
they reveled in the fact that something wasn’t right in his brain
the way his hands trembled, mouth drooled as he was writing his name
his life was a game to all of them, they kept igniting the flames
all the while, david tried to be tame, quietly fighting the pain

fire’s burning all around
ashes falling to the ground
someone save me
set me free
the smoke it settles on my skin
don’t play with fire you’ll never win
someone save me
help me breathe

the more he tried being segregated, the more they would mess with david
it went way beyond messing, nah the torment escalated
they started rumors about how he was heavily medicated
once in an asylum, sedated, white walls, fully vegetated
that’s why he had special cl-sses, completely separated
it’s like they dedicated their whole lives to keep him devastated
they began roughing him up, and david felt his life trapped
a vicious cycle: light taps
crescendo into ice packs
they spit on him, taunting and mocking, “yeah p-ssy you like that?!”
strength in numbers, david didn’t have the strength to fight back
until one day, mich-lle jones found some courage and stuck up for him
next day, word through the halls:
she was a sl-t, f-cking him
and after that, no matter how ruthless or unsettling
you best keep pedaling past the violence their entire crew was peddling
you were the next target if they found out that you were meddling
and everyone in the school saw david’s agony and no one said a thing

fire’s burning all around
ashes falling to the ground
someone save me
set me free
the smoke it settles on my skin
don’t play with fire you’ll never win
someone save me
help me breathe

nine months of abuse from the beginning of august to may
he harbored his hate, told himself it was a part of his day
behind his broken eyes, you could tell that he was far from okay
hungry for refuge, starving away
heart scarred and decayed
and how did they justify all of this? they were just goofing off!
the truth was tossed so carelessly
in hindsight, you can scoff
but do you think any of these foolish teenagers knew the cost of what happens when you vandalize the soul of someone who is lost?
the pain was over a couple hours before their graduation
david was nowhere to be found
the entire crew was laughing making jokes about the f-cked up stuff david was watching while m-st-rbatin’
ignoring all the consequences of their constant lacerations
but instead, david sat at home alone in his bed
completely despondent to the world, he put the chrome to this head
he closed his eyes and bang!
in a moment was dead
next to his lifeless body, he scribbled a note and it said

fire’s burning all around
ashes falling to the ground
someone save me
set me free
the smoke it settles on my skin
don’t play with fire you’ll never win
someone save me
help me breathe

see tragedy strikes when we think there’s no true solution
we spew pollution with the verbal bullets we’re used to shooting
we bully others fully smothered by insecurity
david, wherever you are, i hope that you can hear this plea
to anyone else on the same path, please don’t mirror me
cuz the fact of the matter is: i was the f-cking mastermind
david’s suicide wasn’t asinine; it was a nasty crime
you don’t f-cking treat a human being like that to p-ss the time
look at the consequences
i made an innocent kid blast a nine
his broken family cradling each other, mom and dad are crying
that image eats at me, nightmares and therapy repeatedly
conceitedly tried convincing myself that he died peacefully
god d-mn it!
why couldn’t i just f-cking leave him be?!
i can’t cope with the fact that the reason he’s deceased is me
bullying is not a joke, no!
it’s a real issue
cuz david, though i never really knew you, i still miss you…
