[Intro]
In the quiet town of Wellsville amidst a global pandemic above this business in a small apartment, New York State Police say six people tied a 23-year-old man to a chair and beat him to death
Police say it was a brutal death that lasted over the course of a day
Police then found his body wrapped in a sheet and garbage bags in the Genesee River

[Chorus]
How can (How can)
You live with yourself when you took another life from the innocent? (Life from the innocent)
How can (How can)
You sleep at night knowin' you just took the boy's last breath?
A cold sweat (Sweat)
Steady your breathing, just keep on repeating the last step
Forget (-get)
Everything that you did, your existence of regret (Regret)

[Verse]
He was a hero in this town (This town)
Wore his whole heart on a damn string (Heart on a damn string)
Scribble the faces of all of these people 'cause they won't ever know a damn thing (Know a damn thing)
What a shame (Shame)
You had lots to offer to the world, you were more than just a name
This sort of thing (Thing)
Doesn't happen often 'round here, but the story's all the same, so

[Chorus]
How can (How can)
You live with yourself when you took another life from the innocent? (Life from the innocent)
How can (How can)
You sleep at night knowin' you just took the boy's last breath?
A cold sweat (Sweat)
Steady your breathing, just keep on repeating the last step
Forget (-get)
Everything that you did, your existence of regret (Regret)
[Outro]
How can
You live with yourself when you took another life from the innocent?
How can
You sleep at night knowin' you just took the boy's last breath?
A cold sweat
Steady your breathing, just keep on repeating the last step
Forget
Everything that you did, your existence of regret
