memorialrainbowThese walls I walk
These halls I echo
These walls that speak
Of different times
I walk across
These hallowed brick walls
Waiting for the time
When I'll say goodbye
That fountain shoots
Just like it did before
That reflecting pool
Like it did last fall --
After all, after all,
It's just a game.
It's just a game...
And I'm the one
Who leaves behind echoes
Just the same --
And I'd do it all the same
Just to hear your name
One more time
I'd do it all the same
Just to know your name
And make it mine --
The test is passed out, 7 AM
I'm tired and bored and screwed
Someone else is humming a line
From the morning news
And I'm sitting here and what do I care?
About some test that I'll probably fail
Open or OpenText? Black shoes, gel's wet
A single solo line~
Says hup, two, JUMP!
One and a two and a three and a four
Hup, two, JUMP!
And spin in a circle
Lonely night at the carnival
And come all who are strong
One place I could belong -- no --
One place I do belong!
Yes, I'll do it all the same
Just to hear your name
One more time
I'll do it all the same
Just to know your name
And make it mine
Stop! Hammer time.
He's tall and strong
But not anymore
As he looks out
And I look in
Tie a yellow ribbon around my neck
And ship me off again
He's short and strong
But doesn't look it
He says I'm stronger
Than I think I am
Tie a black string around my wrist
And ship me off agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain~
Oh, this damned test!
Out, damned spot!
Stop trying to make me somebody I'm not
This damned life!
Out, damned girl!
STOP!
The music quiets as I walk out of exams.
I'm done -- sigh of relief -- sigh of death.
To think that in this place I lived such a life
And in another year,
I'll leave it all behind.
Every mistake these walls echo of,
Every groan, every turn-on,
Every practice room gone wrong.
Every long night at Shriver,
Every Bishopite should know,
Every Code Red,
Every paper,
Every band field in the snow.
Every bird left in their cages for all the world to know.
And yet...
As the latch is lifted...
I'd do it all the same
Just to hear your name
One last time.
I'd do it all the same
Just to know your name...
I'll make it mine.
