lyrics

I was eight years old
I was coming from school
I got off at my stop
In the middle of the afternoon

I was with my friends
And kids who rode with us
We played tag in the morning
Waiting for the bus

We were walking
To our complex up an asphalt path
I saw the rabbit on the street
Its skull cracked open, lying on its back

Its brain was spilling
Out of the top of its head
It was the first I had seen
A once-living creature dead

There was no peace
There was no ceremony
I saw something empty
Now there’s no way of unknowing

The rabbit looked to the sky
The rabbit looked into my eyes
I want to look away
But I can’t break the gaze
