jory canfield - look to the future lyrics

[verse 1]
there’s a girl on the streets with no home and no bed
gave birth at 15 now her baby’s dead
she was kicked out her house living with the grey sky
now she spends every penny on getting high
it provides escape for the pain that she’s always felt
malnourished since a child. never had good health
she sells her body to men on the street
no surprise she got caught up with the hiv
when she found out she wasn’t ready to die
she started selling drugs so that she could get by
she never really seemed sad when she was tripping
she really seemed joyful as if she was living
looks can be deceiving though. she wanted to die
so she overdosed on her own supply
she woke up in the hospital, survived by a smidge
as soon as she got out, she jumped off a bridge

[hook 1]
she has slit wrists and a rope around her neck
when we look inside her casket we will never forget
the girl depressed despite a joyful mask
she never looked to the future, only back at the past
only back at the past. only back at the past
she never looked to the future, only back at the past
only back at the past. only back at the past
she never looked to the future, only back at the past

[verse 2]
we have a young teen sitting at a computer
trying to m-ffle the pain through the joy of humor
he felt abandoned, his friends had left him
despite the fact he helped them through their depression
through the time, he began second guessing
the pressure and sadness was way too stressing
he felt as if n-body cared anymore
he slowly broke down all the way to the core
no one seemed to notice cuz he never cried
he really wanted help but just went to hide
there wasn’t anybody left anyway
n-body would care what he had to say
he wanted to die, not in a painful way
only the music could ever get him through the day
but no one ever knew. the lines were too thin
went and overdosed on his brother’s ritalin

[hook 2]
he has slit wrists and a rope around his neck
when we look inside his casket we will never forget
the boy depressed despite a joyful mask
he never looked to the future, only back at the past
only back at the past. only back at the past
he never looked to the future, only back at the past
only back at the past. only back at the past
he never looked to the future, only back at the past

[verse 3]
we got 2 people, a boy and a girl
who were treated unfairly by the rest of the world
always bullied in school because they were different
teachers treat them like freaks even though they were brilliant
they came together because of their situation
they had no one else at which to vent their frustration
see everyone would isolate and attack them
they never did nothing but were still condemned
he sent her a message. he had a plan
to end it once and for all. a final stand
his dad was a hunter hers a part of police
they came together, hoped the pain would cease
32 injured, 21 dead
both found in the school with gunshots to the head
i’d say it right now but it’s already been said
it was a horrible day, filled with red

[hook 3]
they have slit wrists and a rope around their neck
when we look into their casket we will never forget
why would someone do that? everybody would ask
they never looked to the future, only back at the past
only back at the past. only back at the past
they never looked to the future, only back at the past
only back at the past. only back at the past
they never looked to the future, only back at the past
