my parents came to check on me
i quickly shut the lights
turned off the TV
everything was black so they knew I was alright

my parents came to check on me
i threw the bottles in the trash
took out the bags
everything was empty so they knew I was alright

my parents came to check on me
i did all my homework
smiled happily
everything was normal so they knew I was alright

my parents came to check on me
i should have told them that
my life is gray and
everything is not alright
