White Flag

stuck in school
learning 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 teacher told us lies that we believe
as another dreaded autumn sheds its leaves

fighting words
say i failed
wounds will heal
exhale

time's a ship on water
innocence gets lessened as you sail
you sail

what if teacher told us lies that we believe
as another dreaded autumn sheds its leaves
what if happiness is solar systems away
then i might as well just wave the white flag
