A kid at our school died on Thursday. It was really sad, because... He was just a kid you know? He was at school one day and then... Gone. I had trouble comprehending it at first, but then... I had a dream where my dad had been dead for like a month and I hadn't realized it. It was disturbing. I can't seem to get over this incident, and I didn't even know him! It's gotten to me, just the finality of the thing. His neighbor had to clean out his locker, his younger brother won't acknowledge that he's dead. He keeps saying stuff like "When Chase gets home...", it's depressing. And now, if you've ever heard the song "Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day, you'd know that it has taken on a whole new meaning for his friends and family...
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends
like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends
here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends
summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends
ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends
here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are
as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends
like my father's come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends
I can't even listen to that song anymore. Man... I can't think straight. I'll update some more later...
