The Lesson

It's best to not be him at all Your teachers say The toxins in the air will take your life away But don't believe a word from them You'll be ok For I will be with you You can't afford to show your face And smile back This spark of a new love can cause a heart attack So leave me here to smile Until my teeth turn black And I will grieve for you And in the coming years We all will disappear Into the clouds then rainbows form And if we make believe That eyes create the seas We'll feel less worrisome I can't pretend to know what song I might have sung Was told when I was young That I'd meet the lord But sitting here in class That talk just makes me bored While others nod their heads I've always felt this distance I could not explain I've chalked it up as something wrong inside my brain But maybe we're all lost Since we all bleed the same Remember what I said That in the coming years We all will disappear Into the clouds then rainbows form And if we make believe That eyes create the seas We'll feel less worrisome
