This and That

Waking up for school on a Monday morning

Every single day I hear a new voice swarming

Around my head, the mental nest, a train keeps on boarding

And derailing suddenly without any warning

Who said this and who said that?

Who make up that and who brought up this?

Only I can seek inside my mind and reminisce

I wish they would all stay calm, not blow up and dehisce

 

Riding solo on a mini yellow school bus

I get the window seat all to myself

Bullies in the back wanna start up a big fuss

I swear to God they need to stack their feelings on a shelf

Say I don't want trouble but no one listens

So I stick to myself cause fake smiles glisten

And I’m not welcome at all in their existence

Cause they think I'm a youth leader spreading word of Christians

 

Well Christians are balanced, do I always seem that way?

To reform completely could be quite the price to pay

Dedication and willpower at its finest

Creates a pure individual, golden touch like Midas

I been in my feelings, I don't really need to change

And I'm not changing others cause I know I'm not perfectly sane

You're proposing deals to me like I'm a human stock exchange

Call me four eyes but I'll always hit you at extended range

 

Waking up for school on a Monday morning

Every single day I hear a new voice swarming

Around my head, the mental nest, a train keeps on boarding

And derailing suddenly without any warning

Who said this and who said that?

Who made up that and who brought up this?

Only I can seek inside my mind and reminisce

I wish they would all stay calm not blow up and dehisce

 

Getting to school, walking down the hallway

A piercing blow hits my back, it really hurts

Pretty pathetic I can't make it out the parking lot

Without feeling like I'm in a dessert on the outskirts

Put my hands up, boxing match, exhibition

Throwing paper balls at me, a hundred rounds of ammunition

Wishing to cast tricks like a wizardly magician

Setting fire to haters, I call it lethal ignition

 

Finally speaking up, I gave a rebuttal

That only led to a big mess of anger and caused a scuffle

Needless to say, I've never been the strongest person

But I couldn't just stand there and watch tormenting worsen

So I took a left hook to the temple, I was down

Nose was red but in my own blood I wouldn't drown

Footsteps are distant, the principal must be mad

With so much yelling and screaming he might have mistook this place for Stalingrad

 

Figures when I speak up cause I get offended

That I push everyone around me to extent of near suspension

Posting my pictures, laughing at me on live stream

Row a boat or slip and slide, I'm sliding on a downstream

Dragging myself home to my bedroom where I might have betook

In this land of fairy tales there ain't no place for storybooks

But if this is a storybook then often it won't be true

They cliff hangers leave parents saying "boy wha'd he do?"

Around my head, the mental nest, a train keeps on boarding

And derailing suddenly without any warning

Who said this and who said that?

I don't know who made up that or who brought up this

But only I can seek inside my mind and reminisce

I wish they would all stay calm, not blow up and dehisce
