As I walk down the halls at school
I hear cynical laughter
Echoing left and right
The laughter of the boy that killed his parents
The boy that no one reached out to

As I walk down the halls at school
I hear cynical laughter
Echoing left and right
The laughter of the girl that committed suicide
The girl that no one reached out to

As I walk down the halls at school
I hear cynical laughter
Echoing left and right
The laughter of the loners that slit their wrists every night
The loners that no one reached out to

As I walk down the halls at school
I hear cynical laughter
Echoing left and right
The laughter of everyone that society left behind
Everyone that no one reached out to

As I walk down the halls at school
I hear cynical laughter
Echoing left and right
Suddenly it becomes familiar
It's my own.
