Something So Cruel

I used to sit at the foot of that old oak tree
Just waiting for someone to wander by
I waited for so long, but no one noticed me
I dug a grave for myself, and tried to die

Ain’t nobody found me in that old dark tomb
Had to learn to face my own emotional doom
If there’s one thing I learned in my messed up high school
Is that you can never be prepared for something so cruel

Well I sat in the grave, for years on end
Waiting for someone to toss a rope down
I thought the good lord would bring me a friend
But everyone else was right, to have their doubts

Ain’t nobody found me in that old dark tomb
Had to learn to face my own emotional doom
If there’s one thing I learned in my messed up high school
Is that you can never be prepared for something so cruel

I remembered the words, of a good good friend
Don’t ruin your future, based on how you're feeling now
So I just told myself, that this couldn’t be the end
And I took my own hand, and lifted myself out

I ended up finding myself in that old dark tomb
Though I had to learn to face my own emotional doom
If there’s one thing I learned in my messed up high school
Is that you can never be prepared for something so cruel
