Cap N Gown (Angel of Sadness)

I know you wanna see me in cap-n-gown A fresh breeze and a new way of life is what I found So please don’t cry When you don’t see me in my cap-n-gown In and out of foster homes My only comfort was pulling this holster alone From school to football practice Academy award winner my moms was the number one actress From football practice to back to those two huge oak trees A metaphor is simply that cold winters choked my knees And I know it’s gonna hurt Seeing “Class of 2005” imprinted on my shirt Maybe it’s me being selfish But how could I not tell you without a kiss Like me expecting to go to war and forgetting to enlist High school memories was fun and games Embarrassment was done in by shame Senior days are now numbered Summer smirks ever so humble Along with my peers my misery is pumping me up to fumble Still I know you wanna see me in cap-n-gown A fresh breeze and new way of life is what I found So please don’t cry When you don’t see me in my cap-n-gown
