The Curve

[Intro]
[Verse]
Laces dragging on the floor
Sprinting for the classroom door
Hallway smells like lemon wax
I am having heart attacks
Pencil tucked behind my ear
Calculated atmosphere
Thirty seconds on the clock
Turning the locker lock
[Pre-Chorus]
Three cups of cold brew
Group chat says we're through
Screens are glowing blue
Staring at the "u"
Parabolas in my sleep
Secrets that I keep
Buried in the plastic case
Tiny paper hiding place
[Chorus]
Solve for X or die trying
I'm not even crying
The bell is just a siren
I'm a math giant
Beat the curve, break the rule
King of the middle school
Graphing out my destiny
Algebra is killing me
[Post-Chorus]
Plus, minus, divide
Nowhere left to hide
Plot the point, slide
Take it in your stride
(One, two, math is through!)
[Verse]
Flashback to the 2 AM
Crying over theorem
Bo Burnham in my head
Wishing I was back in bed
Why do I need a slope?
Is there any hope?
Passing notes on yellow pads
While the teacher gets so mad
[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes on the whiteboard
Fighting in a math war
Coffee in my veins
Breaking all the chains
X is just a variable
Pressure is unbearable
Check the cheat sheet once again
Master of the ballpoint pen
[Chorus]
Solve for X or die trying
I'm not even crying
The bell is just a siren
I'm a math giant
Beat the curve, break the rule
King of the middle school
Graphing out my destiny
Algebra is killing me
[Bridge]
I don't care about the Y
I just want to fly
Pencil lead is snapping
Everyone is tapping
Dodgeball in the brain
Going quite insane
Hand the paper in
Let the candy run begin
[Chorus]
Solve for X or die trying
I'm not even crying
The bell is just a siren
I'm a math giant
Beat the curve, break the rule
King of the middle school
Graphing out my destiny
Algebra is killing me
[Post-Chorus]
Plus, minus, divide
Nowhere left to hide
Plot the point, slide
Take it in your stride
(One, two, math is through!)
[Outro]
