Kindergarten

[Verse 1]

Return to my own vomit like a dog

Rhymes and giggles muffle the dialogue

Carve my initials in a tree, I will never leave

Maybe one day I'll be royalty

[Chorus 1]

Kingdom

Kindergarten

Born late

Will I graduate?

[Verse 2]

Drinking fountains are shorter than they used to be

The swings on the playground don't even fit me anymore

Folklore, nobody's supposed to believe in the next grade

Write it a hundred times

[Chorus 2]

Kingdom

Kindergarten

Waiting

Bell's not ringing

[Bridge]

Held back again

[Verse 3]

Everything got quiet suddenly, no Dolby

And the theater is empty

Film is flapping on the side of the projector

The reel is over

Banished with my sticky shoes and stinging eyes

I'm walking outside

[Chorus 1]

Kingdom

Kindergarten

Born late

Will I graduate?

[Post-Chorus]

Write it a hundred times, a hundred times, a hundred times, a hundred times

Write it a hundred times, a hundred times, a hundred times

[Outro]

Held back again

Held back again
