Permission to Exist

Lời bài hát

Title: The Exam Is Over [Verse 1] The clocks are sleeping on the wall I hear the numbers when they fall A thousand voices in my head Are counting all the things I said The classroom smells like dust and rain I close my eyes, I'm there again The paper's blank, the ink is dry But I can never leave on time [Pre-Chorus] Nobody's watching Nobody cares Why am I still standing At the top of the stairs? [Chorus] The exam is over The lights are still on I've been waiting for tomorrow For so long, so long The exam is over But I haven't passed I'm still writing my answers To a question that was never asked [Verse 2] I traded every summer day For a future far away Now the future's in my hands I don't know who I am There's no bell to tell me when I can start my life again I learned to live beneath a score Now I don't know what living's for [Bridge] Erase me from the register Forget the things I couldn't be There's no one left to disappoint Except the person haunting me [Final Chorus] The exam is over The room is empty now I can hear my own heart beating But I don't remember how The exam is over The ink has turned to grey I keep waiting for permission To exist another day [Outro] No more questions No more time No right answers None were mine The exam is over The exam is over Why am I still here?
