do you recall the teacher
the one who called you a creature
he's gone and passed away
but the memory runs so much deeper

but alas, what's done is done
through the glass, you and i are one
the hallmark pain that won't wash away
but you were the one with the gun

you carried all this hatred
and you were told you were demented
your peers barbs haven't gone away so
the fate of everyone has been cemented

but alas, what's done is done
through the glass, you and i are one
the hallmark pain that won't wash away
but you were the one with the gun

live as one (live as one)
in the stratosphere (so far away)
i'm calling out in desperation
a simpleton (simpleton)
a catastrophe (so wretched)
i'm calling out in desperation

you're taking credit for the things
that you suspect you are to blame for
and i hate to be the one to break it but
the shock was too much for him to take
you're not a murderer
and you made a mistake
when you step too far
you've sealed your fate

but alas, what's done is done
through the glass, you and i are one
the hallmark pain that won't wash away
but you were the one with the gun

so do you recall the teacher
the one who always tried to reach you
he's gone and passed away and
you've turned into the creature
