stuck in school   learning the rules   we'll find out just who we are      what if teacher tells us lies that we believe      graduate   clean the slate   they had no clue just who we were      what if the teacher told us lies that we believe   as another dreaded autumn sheds it's leaves      fighting words   say i failed   wounds will heal   exhale      time's a ship on water   innocence will lessen as you sail   you sail      what if teacher told us lies that we believe   as another dreaded autumn sheds it's leaves   and what if happiness is solar systems away   then i might as well just wave the white flag
