[Verse 1] The classroom settles, pencils rise I feel the weight behind her eyes She doesn't speak, she doesn't need to One wrong answer and she sees through The clock is ticking, seconds crawl Her shadow stretches down the hall I keep my eyes down on my paper Pretending that I cannot feel her [Pre-Chorus] Don't look up Don't make a sound Don't give her A reason now [Chorus] Teacher's glare It's waiting there Burning holes right through my chair Keep your head down Say you're prepared Don't let her know You're scared Teacher's glare It's everywhere Even when she isn't there One mistake One answered stare And suddenly She's everywhere [Verse 2] The bell rings but nobody moves We all know better than to choose The door is open, daylight's calling Still I hear her footsteps walking Someone laughs from down the hall Then every voice becomes too small The teacher turns, the room goes silent Like every breath has been forbidden [Pre-Chorus] Don't look up Don't make a sound Don't give her A reason now [Chorus] Teacher's glare It's waiting there Burning holes right through my chair Keep your head down Say you're prepared Don't let her know You're scared Teacher's glare It's everywhere Even when she isn't there One mistake One answered stare And suddenly She's everywhere [Bridge] I know that look I've seen it before The kind that follows Through a closing door I know that look I know that face If I start running Will she give chase? [Break] Eyes forward Hands still Answer correctly Or she will Eyes forward Don't despair Whatever happens Don't meet her stare [Final Chorus] Teacher's glare It's waiting there Burning holes right through my chair Keep your head down Say you're prepared Don't let her know You're scared Teacher's glare It's everywhere Even when she isn't there One mistake One answered stare And suddenly She's everywhere [Outro] The bell rings Nobody leaves Her eyes follow Through the trees
