Day two and I already hate you.
You’re not what I thought you’d be.
Taking it day by day,
I think it’s safe to say,
This won’t be where I’ll stay.
Pushing your buttons all the time,
I couldn’t, but shouldn’t I think it’s fine.
Remember the time when life was similar to what there’s is?
Reaching out as a way to get out
Because to shout is not what I’m about.
Shaking my leg which brings me to the edge of my seat.
Where I’ll sit back and contemplate all the wasted time.
This solution just keeps pushing me further and further behind.
Substitution of my mind and soul
Boy was I wrong about that.
Teach what you know,
You reap what you sow
Before it stabs you in the back.
What constitutes right and wrong
Is defined by what you know.
Which may not always be the best for you.
Day three and you already hate me
Or else you wouldn’t treat me this way.
Driving out to Chicago to clear my head of this dismay.
Patience is a virtue, you must search for or it’ll hurt you
Taking the time to shine and realize it’s not their fault.
Their little hearts and souls will touch you,
But you must push it through the pain, they’ll crutch you.
Paralyzing, handicapping what you thought.
I’m done with contemplating all the wasted time
Working towards a solution that’ll keep from falling further behind.
Substitution of my mind and soul
Boy was I wrong about that.
Teach what you know,
You reap what you sow
Before it stabs you in the back.
What constitutes right and wrong
Is defined by what you know.
Which may not always be the best for you.
