[Intro][Melancholy Piano]
James walks home, the weight of the world on his small shoulders
Scraped knees and a swollen eye, a story the schoolyard told us

[Verse 1][Somber Acoustic Guitar]
The taunts, the shoves, the cruel laughter ringing in his ears
A knot of anger, a seed of hate, watered by his tears
He clenches his fist, the sharp edges of a broken dream
Just want it all to fade away, a silent, desperate scream

[Chorus][Haunting Strings]
He holds the stone, cool and smooth, a silent, heavy plea
"Make him disappear," he whispers, "from this world, from me."
A wish cast into the darkness, a pact with the unknown
To erase the face that haunts his days, to finally be alone

[Verse 2][Drums enter, building tension]
The morning light, a hesitant dawn, the school gates loom ahead
A hollow feeling in his chest, a sense of growing dread
He scans the room, a familiar space, yet something feels so wrong
The empty desk, where shadows used to lurk, now holds a stranger, strong

[Pre-Chorus][Whispered Vocals]
Ted, his friend, his comrade in arms, a shared disdain
Now a wall between them, cold and distant, a different game
No shared glances, no knowing smiles, just averted eyes and lies
A silence heavy, more profound than any schoolyard cries

[Chorus][Powerful Orchestral Swell]
He holds the stone, cool and smooth, a silent, heavy plea
"Make him disappear," he whispers, "from this world, from me."
A wish cast into the darkness, a pact with the unknown
To erase the face that haunts his days, to finally be alone

[Bridge][Introspective Folk]
The world has shifted, the ground beneath his feet unsteady
The bully's gone, but a different fear, a new unease, is ready
Ted's changed too, a loyal friend now a stranger in his sight
What power lies within this stone, what darkness in the night?

[Outro][Fading Piano and Strings]
The stone remains, a weight in his pocket, a secret he can't confess
James stands alone, in a world he wished for, a strange kind of loneliness.
The bully's gone, but the echoes linger, a whisper in the breeze
And the stone… the stone remembers, beneath the silent trees.
