Black and White

[Verse 1]
Let's judge this fish on how it climbs a tree
I can only wish it wasn't just like me
The world only cares if you can climb an evergreen
But then it turns around and lies
And tells you to go for your dreams

(Hah! You can't trust a teenager to do a job)
(He's goofing off no doubt!)
(?)
(The look of success, the feel of success)
(The power of success)

[Verse 2]
And I'm losing control sitting at home
I don't wanna be alone
I poured my heart out on a college app
And my life became a circus act
My life became a circus act
My life became a circus act
My life became a circus act

[Verse 3]
And we're jumping through hoops
But all we wanna do is get something from you
By passing all your tests and going on to school
Do you think we like to deal with your shit
We're cramming in a model we will never fit

[Verse 4]
And don't you try to label me defective
And don't you try to label me defective
'Cause once I step back a little bit, they'll eat me alive
And I refuse to see life in black and white
I refuse to give up this fight

[Bridge]
And there's nothing you can throw
That'll get me down
But I know what makes me smile
So I plan to skip town
When you touch one thing in the mix
Everything else will seem loud
I need your stability fix
Before I start to spiral down

[Verse 5]
Let's judge this fish on how it climbs a tree
I can only wish it wasn't just like me
The world only cares if you can climb an evergreen
But then it turns around and lies
And tells you to go for your dreams
