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
