I don't recall when you gave me help
When I was a kid
Probably cause you never did
This institution failed at making me happy
You pulled that feeling out from under me
Treated me like I'm a joke
You stuffed your views until I choked
Positive side has suffocated
It made bitter, sad, and hated
I'm just this machines exhaust
Minimal collateral loss
Well I see right through these shades
Don't give a fuck about these grades
They don't represent my intellect at all
When I go home I grab a book
Make up for time that school took
Indoctrination didn't penetrate these walls
I lost the bounce that's in my step
I lost the hope which I once kept
I learn much more when I space off
Then hours of hearing you talk and talk
Your bullshit truths and your fake virtues
Have led me into no breakthroughs
But my defiant side
Will never die
This persona you push on me
Is not the man that I wish to be
Inspiration for something more
Lies with my hope on these three floors
This routine, this narrow way
I can't take it one more fucking day
Am I suppose to see opprotunity
All I see here
Is assimilation
Regurgitation
Eyes drained of power
Submissive cowards
One sided stories
False sense of glory
I won't be part of
I can't be part of
I won't be part of this
