The Oldest Was Seventeen

Walking towards my school
I feel kind of jaded
Eyes look down on me
all as expected

Tic tac, the time has come
and all I care is how not why

Tic tac, it's time to act
peek-a-boo, I see you

The oldest was just seventeen
They prayed and begged not to be killed
A dreadful bond of destiny
The killer raged, an evil spree

Hiding under your desk
is not going to save you
There's nothing wrong in me,
it's your misconception

This is the only time
I feel unbroken
Taking away my life
all things come full circle

The last to die that awful day
gave hope to all during that hell
Survivors were scarred for life,
deprived of faith by a sociopath

The oldest was just seventeen
