Your eyes

This is the psychic dream network with a very important public service announcement

My mother had a dream on the road in Montana

A voice spoke to her loudly telling her

Don’t go to the Crossroads Truck Stop

Don’t go to the Clark Fork River

She woke up at 5 AM

She checked out of the hotel and saw the news in the lobby

A woman had gone missing

And her boyfriend had committed suicide

Shooting himself with a shotgun

They found him dead in the truck

With his dog barking in the passenger’s seat

Parked at the Crossroads Truck Stop

The police searched for the woman for months but could not find her

And a year later we were driving along the Clark Fork River

I looked up the missing woman and found

A fisherman had found her body floating

In the Clark Fork River

We will now resume school anxiety land

I drop my pencil and I have a meltdown

I sob because I don’t know if I can get the answers perfect

I want an A

I want an A

Give me an A

Give me an A

Give me an A

Give me an A

A

A

A is for Anxious

A is for Anxious

A is for Anxious

A is for Anxious

All I can feel is suffering

Perfectionism is suffering

Perfectionism is suffering

In Mr. Holland’s class

The teacher is aghast

From my nervous breakdown

And Megan

Megan

She’s standing there

Looking at me

With her math textbook

And her calculator

And she’s pausing to smile

She’s smiling at me

She’s smiling at me

My mother had a dream

My mother had a dream

She knew where the body was

She knew where the body was

Shopping ring

Ring it up

Big money

Cha-ching

Take it home

Put it on

Doesn’t fit

Oh well take it back

Take it back

Take it back

Take it back

Take it back

Take it back

I don’t wanna go to sleep I don’t wanna sleep I can’t go to sleep I don’t wanna go to school

I don’t wanna go to sleep sleep go go wake up drop out can’t sleep go to school!
