Mom I went to school today
And everyone was laughing
All but one
Mom I went to school
and now nothing’s the same
Split second it was all taken away

Mom I went to school today
It all had taken years
And invisibility took him in
Mom we all went to school today
And we were happy because tomorrow’s Christmas break
But no one’s laughing anymore

Mom I wish you’d have been there
When the school erupted in screams
I wish you’d been there
When he undressed his invisibility with a gun
And wanted us to be none
Mom I wish you would have held me
When one of them went down
Blood grazing the floor
And one was no more

Mom I wish you could’ve told me it would have been alright
When Jess looked at me with wide eyes
I wish you were there mom
When Jess grasped my hand
When everything was blurry and I was frozen in fright

I wish he would’ve been happy mom
That he’d been one of us
That I could’ve been better
So that he would’ve buried the ax

Mom I went to school today
Before blue lights and crazed activity
Before he made the final choice
Before he finally snapped
Now mom
I’m not coming back

Mom I went to school today
I wish I hadn’t
Because I saw his broken face
His heart split in so many ways
I wish I could’ve held him and told him it was alright
But mom there is no going back

I went to school today
It left everyone broken in so many ways
I went to school mom
And I can no longer see the light of day
