Dual Core: Void (No Return)

Straight from the headlines, scary as sin
a midwest high school is where we begin

Jon is a hacker, not scared to get in
and keep out of reach from his parents again

Cause he was a nuisance // least that's what they said
when they shouted when being abusive

But this wasn't typical // cause most of the
time the abuse he received had been physical

A healthy teenager, he changed to the minimal
eighty-five pounds on his frame made it pitiful

Alive in his mind so he nurtured a trust
cause that was the only thing they couldn't touch

He took up hacking to push away comatose
pro at code, exploits, races and overflows

He made two friends named Mike and Tim
and come to find out they were just like him






Jon's at school, on the clock waitin'
yet another weekday, the kind that he hated

Thinkin bout rootkits, and hooking to start
the teacher walked by with the term's report cards

One more quarter, but this was a site
shocked cause his grades were the hex code for white

An F in each class means he wouldn't pass
his parents were certain of punishment for that

Terrified of going home and facing the facts
Jon, Mike and Tim made a plan and it hatched

The school had an oracle database saved
they would hack with a zero day, to clear away grades

Commit on an update to setting straight As
the parents would never know then they'd be amazed

Thought about alternatives, but they refused it
tired of seeing Jon at school with new bruises




Next day at school, palms still sweatin'
try to act cool, calm and collected

Called to the office in second bell class
the IDS logs had seen their attacks

P'lice came in with cuffs for arrest
took them and booked them in front of the press

The DA and judge had to make an example
so they came down hard with the sentences handled

Mike went to court with terrified fears
locked up in Juve for two more years

Tim pleaded out, he knew what the verdict is
placed in a home under social services

Alone in a zone, not a lot to share
locked in and scared under foster care

He called Jon's parents, but they wouldn't speak
cause Jon went missing at the end of last week
