Teacher's

Teacher teacher teacher
Won’t you tell me how to swim?
I swallow too much water
I’m my momma’s only daughter
She’ll be devastated deeply
If we don’t go to the sea
I swallow too much Jack
And wonder if I’ll get a heart attack
Teacher teacher teacher
People younger than us die
Us kids who didn’t bother
To open our eyes underwater
I said I told you everything
But truth is I was lying
I never told you anything
But I deserve a hug for trying
Now I feel ashamed whenever
Someone’s there to speak your name
You burnt me like a toast
You are your father’s son and my only ghost
I swear to you of all your preach
I remember only what I want
I swear I’ve grown out of your reach
You test the best but you’re now on your own
