High School Is Killing Me

I'm dead
The blood is all but draining from my head
The nightmare started there, but now has spread
My pulse is certainly droppin'
And my life is hangin' on by a thread

I'm scared
Someone comes for me, I'm unprepared

The wait has got me sweatin'
I can't cut through all the tension

It's hell on Earth, you know
I'm tweetin' all about it
I take it blow by blow
But I'd never scream or shout it

Passing period is over, find your seats

High school is killin' me
It's got me all out of rhythm and my melody
It's not cool, it's a fallacy
It's a cruel and unusual brutality
And I can survive it for only so long
High school is killin' me
I'm so fuckin' dead

Alright, class, pop quiz! I hope you've been hittin' thе books
Miss Lauter!

Shit
I was up all late last night and I couldn't fuckin' study

Didn't want to anyway

I was deep in a Twitter fight about a problеmatic puppy

Problematic pooch

I had heart palpitations
Tryin' to convert crypto to lunch money
There's nowhere to turn

For the class of twenty-twenty-wurn
High school is killin' me
It's got me all out of rhythm and my melody

My melody

My melody

A cesspool, faux democracy
It's one hell of a normal abnormality

Agh
Agh
Agh

And I can survive it for only so long (Only so long)
High school is killin' me
I'm so fuckin'–

Hey! Hey, geek

Me?

Your name's Peter, right?

Yeah?

Hi, Pete
We've been in classes together for a long time, haven't we?

I'm so fuckin' dead

Ever since the first grade

And I'm just realizing, I've never introduced myself
I'm Stephanie

I'm so fuckin' dead

Lauter, the mayor's daughter, I know

Yeah, but my friends call me Steph
We're friends, aren't we, Pete?

I'm so fuckin' dead

I don't know, are we?

Oh, I wouldn't advertise it to the whole school or anything, but, uh–

High school

–but there's an unspoken bond between us!
We're classmates, comrades, we're Nighthawks!
We don't leave anyone behind

I got left behind this morning
The bus driver's a fuckin' asshole

Yeah! We succeed together and we fail together
And I won't mince words, I'm gonna fail this test, Peter
Unless you help me cheat

Cheat?!

I'm so fuckin' dead
Eight o'clock bell ring, place my head on my desk

Come on, just finish your exam, pass it to me and I'll put my name on it

Twelve o'clock, Girl Scout, can I just get my rest?

I'll give you mine, you get to take the test all over again
Doesn't that sound fun?

Three o'clock countdown
Everyday lockdown, classroom arrest
Is God the one giving the test?

Well, yeah. But won't we get in trouble?

Please, Pete. Don't you wanna help me out?

Oh, alright

Cheaters!

Oh, God
Butt out, Chastity!

High school is killin' me
It's got me all out of rhythm and my melody

My melody

My melody

It's not cool, it's a tragedy
I've been thrown to the wolves of the community

Aoo
Ouh
Augh

And I can survive it (I can survive it)
For only so long (Only so long)
And I'll still despise it (I'll still despise it)
When I am gone (When I'm gone)
High school is killin' me

Grace, just be cool

Fuck you, biology

Never

High school will murder me

Miss Mulberry, they're cheating!

I'm so fuckin' dead

Yeah
