High School
Closed in from the world outside
I look everywhere but all I find
Is longer hallways, more doors
Leading to my death, my own defeat
I'm trapped
I can't get out
I'm stuck here forever
I don't know where I'm at
The room's getting taller
But I'm being boxed in
And I'm growing smaller
I'm bursting within
This feeling's so terrible
I can't break loose
I feel at the edge
Dangling from a noose
Then, as soon as I'd felt it
The feeling goes away
The bell sounds at the end of the day
"Let's go home!"
I hear all around me
The doors are opened
I can go free!
The bell's ring
Makes my heart sing
I'm no longer dying
I breath in the fresh air
Of the outside world
The air inside was suffocating me more and more
I was free to live--
Until tomorrow, when it begins again.
I look everywhere but all I find
Is longer hallways, more doors
Leading to my death, my own defeat
I'm trapped
I can't get out
I'm stuck here forever
I don't know where I'm at
The room's getting taller
But I'm being boxed in
And I'm growing smaller
I'm bursting within
This feeling's so terrible
I can't break loose
I feel at the edge
Dangling from a noose
Then, as soon as I'd felt it
The feeling goes away
The bell sounds at the end of the day
"Let's go home!"
I hear all around me
The doors are opened
I can go free!
The bell's ring
Makes my heart sing
I'm no longer dying
I breath in the fresh air
Of the outside world
The air inside was suffocating me more and more
I was free to live--
Until tomorrow, when it begins again.
