They say after high school,
You lose your friends.
It is true,
But they left the cryptic part out in the end.

The common explanation would be,
We're all moving on with our lives.
But what they didn't tell you,
Was that your classmates start dropping like flies.

This world is no longer a pretty place,
At least not in our eyes.
Because with each passing year,
The best of us die.

Suicide, murder, accidents,
They are all blurring together.
But that shits only supposed to happen in the movies right?,
Why don't you go ask your mother.

Amber alerts will show in your emails,
And severed heads show up on the news.
That's the world I see now,
And I gotta say I'm not amused.

My heart breaks for the little girls and boys,
Who get kidnapped everyday.
My condolences go out to the families,
Who attempt to keep the tears at bay.

People nowadays are so fucked up,
It truly isn't right.
But what can we do about it,
When it's been always kept out of sight.
