Stalker

[Verse]
The boy he worked the grocery
Store which his parents owned
A pregnant girl would frequent there
Living down the road

He peeped as she went through the aisles
Browsing through her daily needs
An obsession grew in his mind
As for who she might could be

Facing labor by herself
A fact she would ignore
Much like the drink, the violence
Her babyfather left her for

The young man's love was turning grim
Mislaid reality
One night outside her front door
He staged an injury

She took him in and patched him up
Not knowing his intent
Perhaps borne of her loneliness
A bond began to mend

[Chorus]
And it all plays out
A stalker you may be
Fate is always the outcome
You laid out my destiny

[Verse]
He tended to her daily chores
An aid in burden and in need
Platonically she cared for him
Partially ill at ease

One night the father of her child
Came knocking at the door
He claimed to be a renewed man
"Take me back, I will not wrong you anymore"

Although the hurt he caused still present was
She had been aching for his word
A premature amnesty
Was given him as lines were blurred

The grocery boy he voyeured in
Now taking second place
Saw the man's habits reoccur again
And struck him dead in public space

[Chorus]
And it all plays out
A stalker you may be
Fate is always the outcome
You laid out my destiny
And it all plays out
A stalker you may be
Fate is always the outcome
You laid out my destiny
A juvenile offender
In a state penitentiary
