John Counselman - Odds Are Never In My Favor Chapter One [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Chapter One

My name is Curtis Johnson. I am very misunderstood. I am tall, thin, and I live in the woods. I wear a suit. I have no face
When I was five years old, I was in my house with my momma. A man burst through the window. He was tall. He was African-American. He had an afro. He was carrying a pistol. He aimed the gun at my momma, and threatened to shoot is she didn't comply with his wishes. He boomed
"Give me the boy!"
I was being kidnapped. My mother refused to give me up
He pulled the trigger
As I heard the gunshot, and my mother's cries for mercy, I escaped
I ran away into the woods, and have lived there for countless years since
I'm misunderstood. People call me the "Slender Man". Everybody is scared of me. All I want is a friend!
* * *
I lay under a tree. I'm flashing back to when my mother was killed. I feel vengeance in my heart
"I am going to get revenge", I thought
"I am going to kill Black Dynamite."
I stood up, and set out to venture away from these woods, but not towards town, as I usually do to steal books. This time, back toward my hood, for the first time in years. However, I become easily lost
I stop. I drop to my knees and pray. I pray to Princess Celestia that I may be guided. That I shall find my back to the Osprey Housing Projects
I eventually arrive in my old hood. Celestia must have listened. Everybody runs away from me upon my appearence. I disregard it, as I have become accustomed to the people's ignorance. Especially here in Orlando. I walk past my old house. It is now abandoned. The windows are boarded up. Goblins have covered it in graffitti. I walk a block further. I see my aunt Shaundi running out of a house. There's only one pimp in this city. This is Black Dynamite's house
I run inside. No one can escape the clutches of the Slender Man. I restrain Dynamite from escaping. I bind him with my arm like a boa constricter. I literally squeeze the life out of Black Dynamite
He is dead. Victory for Slender Man
As I arrive back in my oh-so-familar forest, I once again drop to the ground. I pray, this time to Notch. I ask why I'm cursed with such a life of pain, and torture. I beg for Him to forgive me for my sins, and then, I black out
I return to conscienceness after what seemed like days. I realize I must flee. Because Curtis Johnson, the Slender Man, is wanted for first degree murder. I also realized, that no one can catch me. Because they all fear me
