a recounting of the Columbine shooting from the killers' perspective.
the anger is building up inside
taunting me with these demented dreams—
dreams of death, rampage, hostility,
filled with the sound of bloodcurdling screams.

a single shot will take it away;
a single shot will make them see.
but why should i stop at just one shot
when i could take them all down with me?

those who spawn this bitterness of mine,
who think they possess a godlike wrath,
will know how it feels to be despised,
to be the prey in my sweet bloodbath.

a single shot could make it all stop;
a single shot could make me forget.
but i will not stop at just one shot...
i have not fired these last rounds yet.

i cannot take it any longer;
i must put an end to this vile rage.
it was really quite a foolish thing
for you to let me out of my cage.

a single shot is just not enough;
a single shot won't keep me content.
so i will not stop at just one shot...
i must let this bloodlust run its course.

i dare you to laugh at me again
when this gun is pointing at your head.
i bet you won't mock me anymore...
my patience is gone; i want you dead.

a single shot ended the insults;
a single shot and i watched them fall.
i gave them all what they deserved,
and the laughter stopped, once and for all.

now i lift the gun to my temple
and prepare to take my own last breath.
i will soon be free of my sick mind
for there is no therapist like Death.
