I called the house to see if anyone was home

Question the silences the negative response

Stayed to see the sunrise

Raising hell over the square

Didn't lose the sense of promise

Laced upon the air



Education was a simple learning curve

Ruined by the lack of anything to use

Of knowing what to say and what to lock away

Pay attention for detentions here to stay



And it took so long to find

All the answers through the lies

And it's been so long

That I don't know if it's alright



Problematic interest never fails to impress

Score cards for everyone

You wear them out to dress

Badge of honor true to code and true to form

Buried underneath all these expectations



If there was any kind of picture

That I could paint for you

I bet you any money

That the numbers wouldn't stick



For all I know

I'll take some credit for myself if I can

And walk away from this whole scene

A happier man



And it took so long to find

All the answers through the lies

And it's been so long

That I don't know if it's alright



It's alright [x5]



And it took so long to wait until the end
