Off to School Songtext
von An Angle

The sun′s coming up, the day's just begun
And I′m off to school this morning
With my backpack full of hope
That my mother gave me, she means to make me free
Of all my immaturity, they need to make a man out of me

And when I was a poor boy, my aunt made a map
Of all the choices that were written
And all the women that were lost
But now I lay in a coffin, warmer than a fire
The sweat makes a memory of all my mistakes swallowed

And now I've found me in a love
I can't seem to comprehend
All the beauty I am capturing
And all the skin I have felt
And now my screen door stands open
For all my friends to enter
But all I need is your pity
And you need not to worry
One, two, three, four


What′s the point in writing when it′s just all analyzed?
Oh yeah, I'll hurt myself in my bathroom tonight
′Cause that's what I want, an emptiness that burns
I′m the selfish one, yes I am
I'm just a hypocrite that hurts

I need to get good grades
I need to make this record work
I need to have my friends love me
Can you just all care for me?
I want to stop being so rational
I want to stop being a poet
I want to stop being an artist
Because me, I′m so useless

Because the publishers are calling
My friends are begging to hear
My thoughts and my worries
So I just hide in my covers all night
And sleep until the sun is coming
Put my clothes on, tie my shoes
Put my notebooks in my backpack
And get ready to fail
