The signs were there in the words they said A day that will be remembered forever Yet we wonder why What was it that drove them? Why can't we answer this? Was it isolation or mental illness? No one takes responsibility for themselves So we keep pointing fingers Knowing it'll happen again Sticks and stones may break bones But words can drive minds Whose arms raise guns Thoughts and actions are intertwined Forever in denial We pass around the bucket of blame To fill it up with It's never us, it's always them No one takes responsibility for themselves Vicious circles will be drawn again When you sow them bullets Know a massacre is what you'll reap If you can't raise them properly They shouldn't be yours to keep We can't bring back these thirteen But maybe we can save some more From ending up like this Lying cold on the floor Lose a battle but win the war
