Last Year Left Behind

We asked them if they cared at all

They looked away and let us fall

It's been a hard year walking these halls

Cold words echoing off the concrete walls

When we said we're breaking,

they just smiled Said they don't care about the mind of a

child

My best friend says he's sick of the weight

He wants to run right out of the gate He wants to

redo the year somewhere else

Just to save what is left of ourselves But I don't even

know if that can be done

(yeah, is it even possible?)

They don't care,

they don't care

We ask for help

and nobody's there

They hit us down,

they watch us bend

We just wanna find where the misery ends (oh,

we

just wanna

leave)

Another day of the same old routine Mean teachers treating us like

a machine

My friend keeps looking at the heavy front door He says he

can't take this one minute more Is there a way out?

Is there a place?

To wipe all this dust off our face?

Just one more year...

If we can even make it out of here...
