AN: I still don't own Next to Normal
I woke up in the morning
And needed help to get out of bed.
I read some of the cases
And felt like sleeping like the dead.
The seminar was like living on a cliffside
Not knowing when you'll dive...
Do you know,
Do you know
What it's like to die alive?
When a world that once had colour
Fades to white and grey and black...
When the rest of the day bores me
But I won't pass if I slack.
You don't know,
I know you don't know.
I say that I am learning
It sure doesn't show.
You don't know...
It should lay me so low
When you say just learn
And I say
You don't know...
The sensation that I still want to be gaming
But now I can't make a sound,
Or the feeling that I should be listening
But I never hit the ground
It just keeps on rushing at me
minute by minute
I do know
I do know
What it's like to live that way.
Like I am lazy and unemployed
Forever on my couch
If it gets me, College will fail me
I know what I enjoyed
It's been three months since the deadline
And my mind is still a mess
And what I remember
Well, it's anybody's guess.
Cause my essay is like the weather
It will come and it will go
I don't know, even know
How this grade's going to turn out.
I'm some Christopher Columbus
Sailing out into the hall
With a map to the secretary
To pick up my grade.
I do know, but what I don't know.
I'm sure there was a lot missing, but I still passed somehow
I do so know, now I can take it slow,
And I do, although I always do, I do know!
I do know, I do know where some of the f**king pieces had to go!
Cause somehow, I got my best grade yet, and for a year I am done.
Apparently, I do know!
AN: I swore myself if I passed that essay I would write a "sequel". And because of some miracle I actually passed, so here it is for the ten people who read it and the one guy who favourited (It always makes my day if someone favours my work). To my friend: I passed! With my best grade! Thanks to all the musicals I listened to during those 4 days! Thanks for introducing me to Next to Normal.
And I thank anyone who read this or the first chapter.
