Old Man Jacob's Well

[Verse One] [Old Man Jacob] I got the cravings again of the wicked Addicted by the blood that floods from the ones I've inflicted The pain upon the innocent ain't comin' back to scare me In my mind, iI kill to forget, the devil doesn't even dare me Anymore. On my own I stalk and walk In the playground for the kid out alone after dark Then sparks the flurry, a fury, inside me As I fight to stop myself, teardrops make things blurry I know he's just a kid, but maybe I can save his soul From this evil world if I can take him to the hole I'm prayin' that God strikes me down before I take another life I'm mumblin', fumblin' with my knife I got to get him quick and take him back behind my shed I'm lookin' up on the kid from the deck My name is Old Man Jacob, the man from the meadows The man that no one really even knows Haha [Hook] [x4] Old Man Jacob's well Old Man Jacob's well 14 souls dwell In Old Man Jacob's well [Verse Two] [Little Kid] Mommy and daddy said to never ever ever talk to strangers Even if they say they know us, don't even tell 'em what your name is But I'm no punk because I got the kicks, I eat my spinach I'm the fastest kid around and I got on my zips It's kinda late to be out in the playground anyway Plus there's no one left to play with, what would mommy say? I'm a slick kid, I'll take the shortcut quick And get home before she leaves, I won't receive punishment Haha Walkin' through the bushes with my protection stick I hear a "pssst" Behind my back and there's a man smirkin' then he's hawkin' spit [Old Man Jacob] Hey buddy boy here's a toy, play with it By the way, you remind me of my old son Leroy [Little Kid] Aaaaahhh, I begin to dip He threw this piece of metal at me which kinda made me trip He grabbed my feet and tied my hands up with masking tape I'm hopin' he doesn't think what I'm thinkin', God don't let him rape He took his sock and put it in my mouth, I felt a tear drop hit from his cheeks I want my mommy, where's the damn police? [Hook] [x4] Old Man Jacob's well Old Man Jacob's well 14 souls dwell In Old Man Jacob's well [Verse Three] [Old Man Jacob] See livin' all alone in that field brought the pain That powers me to drag him as I strain I ignore his moanin' cause there's no turnin' back I know I'm dead wrong, I know I'm crazy and I lack The love to fight the pain so I do what I gotta do I need someone else to feel the pain I'm feelin' too But isn't that how it works? The world's out to get ya And when you take a fall, they tumble down with ya The world is no place for the soul of a child Cause he could become like me, demented, sick and vile What else can I do? I've tried and I've failed I look back at the meadow and I see the bloody trail That his body's made but no one will ever know Cause I'm little man Jacob and I've never had a foe Or a friend in this world, huh I hope I burn in Hell I wipe the blood off my knife and drop the 15th body down into the well [Hook] [x4] Old Man Jacob's well Old Man Jacob's well 15 souls dwell In Old Man Jacob's well
