Attack
Living in a lost world
What do you see?
I see broken boys and girls
Standing all around me
Full of pain and rage that
No one else understands
Creating plans for attacks that
No one else could have planned
Attacks against themselves and
Others just like them
Instead of getting them help we
Push them off on their friends.
No wonder when they snap
We're the first they go for
"Ban the guns and button the hatch!"
But who's really keeping score?
Because honestly, what did we ever expect
When we ignored the broken and hurt?
Even today, we ignore where we should protect
And wonder why our system is cursed.
