• Lies
    Lies
    Lies
    Lockers slam beside
    Me.
    Run
    Run
    Run
    Only four minutes
    To run from class to class
    Up, down
    Up, down
    Books falling
    Lyrics crawling
    Struggling
    To tell me what to do
    2:30 finally comes
    Off to the bus I run
    Teasing, taunting
    Those corn-fed hicks
    Sweaty faces
    Awful places
    And then the gravel driveway
    Meets me with a wave
    I follow down
    Down
    Down
    Down
    Into a place I call my own
    And so I log on
    Waiting to be greeted.
    And I am
    By a game of favorites
    We all deny what's going on
    Before our very eyes
    L to P
    P to K
    None to R or D
    N or I
    Or M
    We simply go on
    Blind
    I swallow down my tears
    Tell myself they don't matter
    That I'll never meet them
    That I don't need them.
    And then I go to bed
    To begin this day again.
