I stumbled out of bed
my head was rock n roll a mess
i didnt care to drag a comb through it
cuz back in high school no one gave a shit
my dreams were noble gas
i got straight Z's in every class
i never go to church but
every year i pray that i might pass
my friends were like the walking dead
i spent the summer in my head
to keep myself from dying young
buried myself in a book instead
then an angel led me to the institute
and bled and left a trail for other
exiles like me across the university
to the room beneath the stage
to where the orchestra once played
she kissed me on the lips and whisped
told me i should never feel ashamed
