High School

High School (高中) - SayWeCanFly

You call them soldiers

I call them friends

From different countries

I've never met

You call them heroes after they die

After you pay them

And steal their lives

You call it high school but all I learned

Is that there's something wrong with the earth

And all our 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 they leave behind

Is that the devil holds their throats

But only heaven holds your soul

So don't let go

Our generation needs education

About creation not separation

We have 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 they leave behind

Is that the devil holds their throats

But only heaven holds your soul

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
