Electric Blue
What does it mean?
Popping electric blue –
Daily times two
Doctor says, “you’ll feel better, it’s true”
But you don’t even realize
Sad eyes, manic eyes
Just a teacher
Hardly human at all
We pace the halls of the school
We preach and teach
I try to cure you
I panic and take that emergency blue
My thoughts they race
Again we pace
The school bell rings, the voices I chase
I stop and just beg that you learn
Hundreds of faces smiling, laughing
Voices yearning for attention
Sometimes I stop – just to breathe
What if I can’t do this anymore?
Hey, I’m just trying to save the world
But this disease of the mind I cannot cure
How difficult it is, and you don’t realize
The amazing race I face
