Public School Songtext
von Pictures of Vernon

I see the seasons in the trees
My months in the leaves
I′m burning brighter
I'm burning brighter for myself
I woke up from the day into a good night
I walk the streets for fun but always depending on another

I am on a bus in 2005 where the limbs branch off
My head is rattling against the window
Like when we went to Brooklyn
I can′t stop listening at this point
My life is on gapless playback
I am seventeen and moving once again


Hopefully this home will last
Hopefully I'll reignite
I am on a river going too fast, but the view is nice
And I know how to swim
The words are repeating and changing at the same time
While my mother sobs softly
My father bursts and everyone is silent

I am a black sheep
It's marked on my skin
In all of my cards: "We′re praying for you, we love you"
Well, act like it
And I felt the most at home when I was gone
It′s 7: 30 on a back porch

My eyes are finally open
And I know I'm alone
The neighborhood is quiet
They gather all around
Softly: "He loved you"
