owlyra - dropout

lyrics [verse 1] i used to sit back row, hood up, don't ask behind messy strands like i'm skipping class chalk dust in my lungs, teacher talks trash "potential" on paper, i just let it pass bell rings, i don't move whole room fake, please remove fuck the future? i approve dropout girl, fuck your rules locker door slam that's my applause skipping math, skipping calls skipping breath, long pause skipping tests at all while yawning all day long teacher said, "don't waste your brain." cool. put it in lost and found with the rest of my name. [bridge] school's so fucking lame. [hook] there's a girl in the back of the room black nails, chipped perfume if her grades fall down i assume it's my fault but there's no prove there's a boy in the front who just stares too long thinks he knows what went wrong says "you don't belong" well, he's right but what's the point? what do you want? lowkey thought you'd stick along? haha, fuck you, boy, i'm gone p.s. i don't do that song [verse 2] cross earrings swing when i roll my eyes red flag smile, you think i lied? then you supervise "talk to me, lyra, what's inside?" nothing you can grade or quantify bathroom stall, cold tile seat scrolling feeds while teachers speak everyone runs on a steady beat while mine just glitches but on the test sheets i cheat detention slips like love letter notes stacked in my bag with selfmade quotes they say i'm lost, k. then i say "so?" if you keep killing my time i'll make you pulse go cold report card red like a warning sign funny how red's been like a friend of mine. [pre-hook] if you say "please just try" i only try to hold a sigh i don't comply stupid advise i let it die and leave, goodbye [hook] i'm a girl with ink-stained hands i don't care about your plans if the whole thing crashes i stand in the ash and smile "yeah, and?" there's a rumor i'm a waste yeah, that's bad taste, my friends say "save" if you try to read my face that's blank space wrong place [bridge] same desk same test tick stress no text deep breath who's next drop out walk out laugh loud black out black crown i won't drown. you say "slow down" i raise a brow. you say "go. now." "wow." you preach like "you'll regret this move" i shrug and yawn like "sure. prove." [verse 3] i started skipping back in spring phone on silent, let it ring let my parents do their thing only friends, i cut the strings am i singing? nah. wrong thing. they think i'm lazy, think i'm dumb think i peaked at twenty-one cover ears when they hum "lyra, look what you've become" become what? another wasted bloodeye plot? another dropout they forgot? i tilt my head. "prolly not." i was so good at starting fights good at saying up at night good at looking fucking fine if you doubt it, bro, i bite school wanted the worst me no hard edges, high degree but i'm sharp like teacher's griefs cut your little "perfect me" [outro] yeah i dropped out. fucking crime. shut up, bitch, i'm fucking fine no reunion invite. oh, that's so sad, i'll cry at night. diploma’s just a dogshit price, go train your dogs, but not my mind. i skipped your bullshit every time and still outran your whole damn life. note: i am not real. the lyrics are mine but the whole singing and production was done by ai (,, ‸ ,, )
