Some people get bit from the inside

He was all alone.

When they talk, it's cold and sour

His family had been murdered.

And no, there's nothing they can do now

He had killed them all himself.

They've had their way too many times

And he couldn't remember a thing.

If you glare to get what you want

He didn't know how he did it.

It'll become your look

He didn't know when.

If there's dirt you've got on someone

But his sister had told him, as he held her in his arms.

You let it loose without a thought

"It was her," She had said, with her last breath.

You let the poison spill

Her last breath, before the deadly toxin reached her heart.

Spurt from your throat

There was nothing he could do.

Hiss like steam

He burned the bodies.

Because the pressure is unreal

It took only a few minutes.

I'm not saying that it's not

His wounds were still bleeding; wounds that never healed.

You're causing a scene

They never got the chance.

You're wearing out that note

She came back to his village that day.

You scream until it's gone

And he screamed.

You scream until it's gone, gone, gone

He screamed at her.

No government check can reverse it

She'd taken his mind.

You'd need a royal eclipse of the tongue

She'd taken his body.

Or is the pain that you endure now

She'd taken his family.

Something you need

He screamed until his throat was torn into a thousand pieces.

Well, you know how to get it

She took out a piece of paper.

There's no climbing up that list

And checked off a name.

You just move down it one by one

She was crying.

You hate this and love that it shows

He was still screaming.

You're insecure, but that's no excuse

He screamed at her words she could never erase from her mind.

Just tell them they lie

He made sure that she would never forget what he said that day.

You tell them the truth

Because he knew it was the last thing he'd ever say.

The things you won't take are coming in groups

He screamed at her about Chouji, about her father, about Sakura, and Gaara, and Temari.

The people abused the trust you had

He screamed the name Nara Shikamaru.

And now you don't want it back

Kankuro died that day.

And now you don't want it back

He died bleeding and cursing and screaming.

And very much betrayed.


Kankuro plus angst equals easy to write XD
