There's one single thought that has plagued me every night since summer began to end Every night since I felt the ghost of freshman year Breathing down my neck And promising that nothing will change this year This thought haunts me like a vengeful spirit Trying to break me down even though it knows I'm still broken from last year And I can't be put back together The one thing that constantly beats me up Is knowing that school is approaching and I Can't ever stop it Because there is no way out Even when it becomes too much and I forget how to breathe Anxiety that chokes me until I can't even ask for help or beg for mercy And maybe, just maybe they'll let me out And I can go home and pretend that I'm not alive But it's only for a day Because when that's over The Bell Tolls Again
