Big man on campus
Walking tall when nothing sticks
So convinced that you're exceptional
Where exceptions still exist
Dumbed down these meanings
Crawling back for some abuse
Does it make you feel superior?
Even though it's not the truth
Am I wasting my time?
Straining hard for reminders
Will the past come off kinder if we try to resist?
When it's all said and done
They won't ever confront it
But your growth isn't stunted by the names on that list
Far gone from reason
With each life you tried to ruin
Now possessed to be transmissible
Played for laughs while still in bloom
Swept through the ages
Rising up to stake your claim
Have you stopped to face the casualties?
Beaten down and then defamed
Am I wasting my time?
Straining hard for reminders
Will the past come off kinder if we try to resist?
When it's all said and done
They won't ever confront it
But your growth isn't stunted by the names on that list
I can't say that I care, that I care anymore
As if any allusions were left to explore
With an eye on these stories that we've tried to repress
They still roll off the tongue when you're prone to confess
They still roll off the tongue when you're prone to confess
They roll off the tongue with our truths to contest
