High School

You call them soldiers
I call them friends
From different countries
I've never met
You call them heroes
After they died
After you paid them and steal their lives
You call it high school
But all I learn
Is that there's something wrong with the Earth
And all the politics
Are just a dirty trick
To keep us feeling sick
And keep us arguing
Your bullets and your stones
Can pierce right through my bones
But this heart remains my own
And I will always have control
And when our friends begin to die
The only truth we leave behind
Is that the devil holds the throne
And all we have, it holds us
So don't let go
Our generation
Needs education
About creation
Not separation
We are a nation
On medication
A population built on hesitation
See back in high school
I never was cool
Until I chose to, just do what I do
I skipped my classes
Put on my glasses
And wrote my love songs
So I could find some sunshine in the rain
A way to stop my pain
But now I understand
That my pain was in their plan
When our friends begin to die
The only truth we leave behind
Is that the devil holds the throne
And all we have, it holds us
So don't let go
See, when all is said and done
We will burn into the sun
The moon will shine upon
The distant earth that it once loved
The stars will sing a song
For all the humans who got lost
Inside themselves
And left the whole wide world to burn in hell
