Glueing Broken Glass
Glueing Broken Glass
you run the comb through your hair
but its not like anyone would care
so you step outside
into the light
pull up your hood
and take a right
turn towards your school.
and you know
that its a bad day
and you know
what they're gonna say
and you know
that its gonna be the same.
so give em what they want
let them tease,
let them taunt.
(normal)
now you walk through the halls
getting stares from them all
look away, and just walk
cause you know
its just talk
and thats all that matters now.
now you sit in your class
your always
called on last.
you dont mind
but you know
its the way
its gotta go (gotta go)
now run,
run home to your room
where no one
no one can judge you
and lay flat on your bed
and bury your head (and bury your head)
feel the hot tears
on your face
cant go to heaven
but earth
was a terrible place
sit in the dark
all alone
so you wake up at 6 AM
your pillow is wet
from your tears
the alarm clock goes off
and your cover your ears
run the comb through your hair
maybe someone'll care
and you step outside
into the light
pull down your hood
and take a right
turn towards your school
and you know
that its gonna be a good day
and you know
you dont care what they're gonna say
and you know
that it wont be the same
anymore.

I figured it meant enough to post..
