Graduation Day
Graduation day, Graduation day
today that is all I hear
but I will not be graduating,
and its this I fear
I'm a simple failure
and this is simply clear
at least in my own eyes
because I know I cannot steer...
...My life in the way I thought that I could
everything in the bag, turns quickly to, knock on wood
and now I'm left observing, the would, the could, the should
thought that I was moving forward, so very still I stood
Graduation day, Graduation day
congrats to all of course
I hate to be crude but
stop beating that poor horse
It's already died
from being beaten with such force
and as you beat the lifeless words
your eyes show no remorse...
...For the sad failures like me
a graduation I will never see
knowing its my own fault still I make a plea
"Graduation day, Graduation day
Please don't forget me."
