i lost my mind on a walkway of a public school
i suffocated my emotions at the bottom of a swimming pool
i don’t care to have a high school experience
i’m not popular and i’m definitely not “in with it”
measuring up isn’t worth half the time you invest in it
standing’s too overwhelming so i have to sit
i lost my mind by the time i got to fourth period
and i can’t believe i have to go and keep staying delirious
my old friends like me now, is this a new fever dream i’m not aware of?
my mind spins faster than a record that is new material
i lost my mind when i saw myself standing there
as still and as lifeless as the statue of david
and i just know that i can’t get it back this time

high schools ***** sorry i’m such a debby downer
