Arlie – ​blackboard.edu lyrics

[Verse]
Sixteen years looking up at the blackboard
I don't even know how to read
I got pills to make the hamster wheels turn faster
But the monkey's in the driver's seat
And now I tear myself apart about everything at once
I miss my good old lack of self esteem
You can take out the wax and tie me to the mast
I gotta hear the sirens scream
Don't listen to me
I just need a good night's sleep

[Chorus]
And you keep me up all night
Can't talk right
I'm falling into my clothes
And even though I'm feeling like death
I can't be upset
'Cause I finally know

[Verse 2]
You can document the teenage wildlife
Psychoanalyze the modern man
You can classify 'em all by blood type
But you're never gonna understand
What if panic were the right reaction
To the anno domini milieu
I'm too sleepy for the main distraction
Downtown lights could never glow like you
I'm going to sleep

[Chorus]
And then you keep me up all night
Can't talk right
I'm falling into my clothes
And even though I'm feeling like death
I can't be upset
'Cause I finally know

[Bridge]
I don't want to be an animal (oh no)
But you're making this hard for me
But I don't want to be an animal (oh no)
But you don't wanna go

[Chorus]
And you keep me up all night
Can't talk right
I'm falling into my clothes
And even though I'm feeling like death
I can't be upset
'Cause I finally know

[Outro]
I finally know
I finally know
I finally know
I finally know
