School Shooter

Dreaming to become infamous
the news cycle spins so fast
you’re forgotten faster than the victims decompose

I know how they hurt you, I know you felt so scared
now’s the time to make them run, make them cry, make them hurt
all for a change, just to see things change

Yet you could really teach them a lesson
really show them something
if you forgave them
if you protected them, helped them
shielded them from harm

Hurt people hurt people
and it’s those bastards’ fault you’re so damaged
for one moment in the sun you could be the one to feel strong

But it all fades away like day gives into night
that strength, that might falls apart
dissipates like melting snow

Yet you could really be powerful
if you found the strength and courage
to let it all go and move on
nurture your soul
don’t let cowards make you one of their own
you’re victorious in love and mercy

Crude weapons made of steel
imprison the user and set the victim free
you can choose to heed providence
you can always choose
