lyrics

Did you know I sat right here most days I choose to come to class? I'm rather slow, don't like my presence to be known. I'm like a turtle on his throne, hide in my shell and scream at the microphone. A straight 30 days will pass us by as you and I play silly games, try and decide where the other lies. And I'll lose the war, defeat myself, you'll be back for more. Wish I could prove me wrong. Why get out of bed? I'm barely dedicated to keep fumbling around for your attention. It's crumbling in front of me, this nest I built in my head. “You won't do this today, so sit back down.” As the lecture came to a close I casually rose from my hunched pose. I think she got the message, she cut me off after “do you suppose...” She said “Before I answer, you gotta tell me your name.” I said “That shouldn't be a problem, that's the only thing I'm not trying to change.”
