Blood on the Blue
Diggy Graves

Verse 1:
A little boy in blue, always standin' there,
Haunted halls of school, man, I swear it’s not fair.
Taunted by his laugh, cuttin’ me deep,
Recess time was hell, no place I could sleep.

He wore that damn color like he owned the day,
Every jab, every taunt, pushed me further away.
Fast forward decades, now the scars run thick,
In my late forties, time to unleash this sick.

Chorus:
'Cause 35 years later, I pulled that trigger,
In the moonlight silence, my heart’s grown bigger.
It wasn’t just blue; it was anger and pain,
I shot the boy who grew into a stain.

Verse 2:
But he wasn't a boy, just a ghost of the past,
35 years, those blue threads were cast.
As I watched him grown, sleepin’ with my wife,
Manifestin’ my rage, cuttin’ the knife.

Blue like the sky, turned dark like a storm,
Doomed in the moment, I can’t conform.
It wasn’t the color, no, it was betrayal,
I aimed for my vengeance, in the shadows, I sailed.

Chorus:
'Cause 35 years later, I pulled that trigger,
In the moonlight silence, my heart’s grown bigger.
It wasn’t just blue; it was anger and pain,
I shot the boy who grew into a stain.

Outro:
Divine peace hit me, like a whisper in night,
'Cause it wasn't about blue, just wrong and right.
Bipolar madness, took a grip on my soul,
Shot him for freedom, just tryin' to feel whole.

Revision 2:
Verse 1:
Yo, a little boy in blue, always up in my zone,
Fabric of my sanity, stretchin' like a marathon.
Mocked my world, twisted my desire,
Every laugh he made, stoked a deeper fire.

Fast-forward three and a half decades, yeah, I’m talkin’!
Boi wore that blue to leave my soul rockin’.
Control slipping, heart gripped in fright,
Had to drift back in darkness, prepared for the fight.

Chorus:
So 35 years later, yeah, I pulled that steel,
Thought I’d find peace, but the pain is real.
Wasn't the blue, nah, it was deeper than that,
I shot the boy who found time to be a rat.

Verse 2:
In the shadows, yeah, a serpentine glare,
My wife and that boy, ain't no truth, just despair.
He grew up in blue like a phantom in the night,
Broke all my spirit, couldn't put up a fight.

Deep madness lurkin’, riskin’ my face,
Calm in my hand, time to erase.
Betrayed by my love, lost to the blues,
Aimed for his heart, had nothing to lose.

Chorus:
So 35 years later, yeah, I pulled that steel,
Thought I’d find peace, but the pain is real.
Wasn't the blue, nah, it was deeper than that,
I shot the boy who found time to be a rat.

Outro:
Moment of silence, bullet sings in grace,
Wasn't about blue, yeah, just a twisted chase.
Living in shadows, with madness on the rise,
Once I let it go, solid truth in disguise.

Revision 3:
Verse 1:
Insidious boy in blue, born from hate,
Echoes of laughter, painted a twisted fate.
He was the shadow, pierced through my soul,
Past rips apart, night swallowin' whole.

35 years, each memory bleed,
Blue threads pulled tight, growing roots of greed.
Doomed in this cycle, forever I grieve,
But tonight, oh tonight, let me finally breathe.

Chorus:
35 years later, straight through the night,
Pulled that trigger, shadows blur into light.
No more blue burdens, ripped out like weeds,
I shot the boy who became all my needs.

Verse 2:
He was a man now, thought he could take,
My wife and my peace, he made my heart break.
Ghost of the child now turned to a beast,
Feeding off of love, angry, never ceased.

Now in my grip, rage manifests,
No love lost in this dark love fest.
He wore blue proudly like a badge of shame,
Pulled the steel trigger, no one left to blame.

Chorus:
35 years later, straight through the night,
Pulled that trigger, shadows blur into light.
No more blue burdens, ripped out like weeds,
I shot the boy who became all my needs.

Outro:
Silent confession, pop a bullet through time,
Wasn’t about blue, it was my broken rhyme.
Bipolar madness folding in on pain,
Finally free now, but somethin’ remains.
