It feels fair

IT FEELS FAIR (E A D G B E, capo 2)

 


I’m surrounded by books. Their words heavy on my head. I’m not ready to start again.

All I feel are dirty looks. Through the cracks in the back fence. I can’t start again. I’m happy where I am.

 

I’m surrounded by falling leaves. The air heavy on my skin.

I’m not ready; I’m just a kid. And life is a nightmare. Somehow it feels fair.

 

Soon I’ll go out. I don’t know where. I’ll take to the streets as if in a dream.

Soon I’ll go out. I don’t know where. Because I’m just a kid and life is a nightmare.

I’m just a kid; I know that it’s not fair.

Somehow it feels fair.
