"Hey Listen" lyrics

"Hey Listen"

Antelope Valley Walmart
A bulletin board of missing teens
Runaways and kidnaps
CPS and tragedies
One photo, it grabs my eye
It's blurry and gray and indistinct

No more recent image
That tells me something clear
They forgot about this kid
Years before he disappeared
No more recent image
Those words, they say it all
He never had a home
Just black mold and four walls

Thin mustache and greasy hair
Looks like half my high school friends
Band shirt and baggy pants
His skin is pale, his eyes are red

No more recent image
All the questions it invites
It's tough to find an upside
In what seems like a cursed life
No more recent image
I'm still thinking of this kid
And how some folks are so lucky
And other folks are him
