The Ballad of Brittany Normand and Logan Silverlake

The first time I was in a fight

In eighth grade I held hands with Brittany Normand at the mall

And her boyfriend didn't like that very much

No, her boyfriend didn't like me much at all

And he told me I was a faggot

And he told me I should meet him at the park at 3 o'clock

And I heard from some friends

That he'd gathered up some friends

And they were gonna fuck me up

Well I don't know if it's true

'Cause I never showed up

♪

The next day, my friend Logan Silverlake

Found me at the park behind the street

Where I walked home

And we talked and he seemed a little off

But I never thought he would punch me in the face and stomach

Knocked me to the ground 'till

My blood mixed with my tears

Then just turned around and ran

Well I remember when I was a child

I felt safe

If someone tried to hurt me

Well at least I could escape

The fight's not in my nature

But running suits me fine

I'll survive and the dead can have their pride

I'll survive and the dead can have their pride
