We don't want school
We want to swim in our pool
We want to leave
We want to breathe
Let us free
Just let us be
Let us think
No burn and sink
Now let us go
Or the only thing you'll know
Is us breaking you down
Getting you out of this town
What? You dont know what to do?
This is what you put us through
Now sit and do your work
While we observe
Time for an exam
You should make a plan
You're going through stress
Yea it's not the best
You got problems in your brain
You're going insane
We've all been through it man
Wasnt that your plan
A lion never loses sleep
Over the opinions of sheep
Well we're not lions
And that's by defiance
We dont know why
You want to cry
We'll just sit here and laugh
As you figure out math
Didnt you make the subject
See, that's something you can't object
Because you teach us this thing
But we just wait for the bell to ring
We'd be much smarter if we didnt use
Something useless like you
You keep our intelligence to yourself
But not only that, what about mental health
What were you thinking while doing this
We lost emotion. That's what we miss
Now you are put under pressure
A pressure nothing can measure
We're trying to deal with depression
And all of those therapy sessions
You didnt know about
All the people you're stressing out
We lay in bed every night
Trying to fight
Against what you
Make us do
Everyone will taunt
My insecurities haunt
I try to keep it inside
And you don't mind
It's only because you like the might
That you'll never let us see the light
Blinded with some mist
And all the cuts on my wrist
Most of us commit suicide
You're not even aware they died
Hung from a roof
With that horribly made noose
Some parents care about work
A's with some stupid smirk
They kill their child like that
Basically treating them like rats
The child loses their parents this way
"Work" is all they say
And then they dont do good enough
And the parents words get kind of rough
It's you against all the children
So it's plain logic that you can't win
Logic. Something you didnt teach us
You made our logic rust
Logic is seen as smart
But smart people only have a broken heart
They're always seen as brats
Cmon what's up with that
People leave them as an outcast
Without knowing their past
And that adds to who they are
Each word makes another scar
They have pressure you can't handle
Imagine them being like a candle
If you cut the oxygen to it
It'll go out because it doesn't fit
And every words takes more oxygen
Candle out. They can't win
And then we come
To the inevitable dumb
Its not that they have no brain
It's too much work driving them insane
And people that are weird
Like a woman with a beard
It's their genes making them this way
So just remember that okay?
And then the people who are normal
Who just act casual and formal
The smart dumb and weird have to fight
To keep their tiny candles alight
Oh wait I forgot this one
After the list is done
The next is the silent
Who can act so violent
They sit while everyone talks
Gathering their own thoughts
So school it's your turn
Not to be of our concern
Now we'll leave you alone
While we just calmly go home
Never again will we come to you
We just want something else to do
As we walk through that gate
We already fell less fake
