its the ending to a sad story on a monday afternoon
just pick your heads up from your desk
can we please get this over with
i wonder if the wife knew
dont ask questions, keep your head down, learn your lesson
cause no one with money ever goes to jail
and i need to think of something to say before we all are on the floor
its not that hard, everyone in this room probably done it 100 times before
and it is only the strong survive
and that is only the biggest lie
and i'm sorry sorry about tonight
i shaved my head last night to start anew,
in a chapter i call with out you
and its going to be the best i've ever written
i blacked my soul last night to feel like you
and the doctors don't know what to do
in a chapter i call rehabilitation
and i need to think of something to say before we all are on the floor
its not that hard everyone in this room has probably done it 100 times before
and it is only the strong survive
and that is only the biggest lie
and i'm sorry, sorry about tonight
mark it on a calendar and walk away
forget the stories forget the pain
they mean nothing to you well they mean nothing to me
but the memories wont let me be
take the pictures to remember the day
i'm forgetting the voices what they have to say
they mean nothing to you they mean nothing to me
but the memories wont let me be

i always thought of this as someone the narrator knew was convicted of a crime, something big but secretive, considering it caused a lot of uncomfortable tension and attention, but not something the wife knew about. I personally always imagined maybe child pornography, and the narrator was possibly a victim, considering the narrator wouldnt want to talk about it (can we please get this over with) and is uncomfortable with and doesn't wanna get too involved with the situation (dont ask questions, keep your head down, learn your lesson). But he also is upset with the unfair way society works to privilege those who are already privileged, and he knows that no matter what he's seen or testifies, it really won't matter in the end (cause no one with money ever goes to jail). Cause there's never any real justice for the situation, the narrator is just constantly haunted and tormented and affected by what he's been through (mark it on a calendar and walk away, forget the stories forget the pain, they mean nothing to you well they mean nothing to me, but the memories wont let me be). Something like child molestation/pornography will scar someone for life and have a lot of after effects, which is maybe why the narrator shaves his head and goes to rehab (maybe from getting caught up in drugs to cope). I have no clue if any of this is right or if it's what Brian Sella was trying to say, but to me, it seems like it's about the victim of some sort of scandal, leaving the narrator affected for life.
