In the Schoolyard
When I was a kid
I gave everyone my address
Said come on over
And it
Turns out that nobody did
Swimming alone's how I spent
My eighth birthday
Sometimes it feels like
I never got out of the water
I never got out of the water
Even though I did
I never got out of the water
Sometimes it feels like
Everyone's looking at the surface
And it's not happening on purpose
But they're taking things for granted again
I'm learning to right my wrongs
And speak up when I feel like
I'm not being listened to
Some story entered my bones
When I was far too young to know
Not to listen to
What people say
Cause everybody's feeling the pressure
While they keep trying to end us every day
Sometimes it feels like
Everyone's looking at the surface
And it's not happening on purpose
But they're taking things for granted again
Sometimes it feels like
I never got out of the water
I never got out of the water
Even though I did
Sometimes it feels like
I never got out of the water
I never got out of the water
I never got out of the water
Even though I did
Sometimes it feels like
This world's got nothing for me
Getting blank stares in return for what I give
Sometimes I feel a thousand eyes
Looking down at the surface
And they're watching me drown on purpose
So they're taking things for granted again
