[Verse 1] Got a letter in the mail From a school I never knew Said I'm accepted, start next week Didn't even apply to you Showed up confused as hell This place looked nothing like home They said "We're here to keep things safe" I said "Safe from what, though?" [Pre-Chorus] Hold on This can't be real Hold on What's the deal? [Chorus] I'm just trying to graduate Now you're telling me There's a war I didn't know about And you're drafting me [Verse 2] They showed me what they're fighting I couldn't look away Everything I thought I knew Changed in a single day Asked them "Why pick me for this? I'm nobody special here" They said "You'll understand in time" But time just brought more fear [Pre-Chorus] Hold on This isn't right Hold on I didn't sign up for this fight [Chorus] I'm just trying to graduate Now you're telling me There's a war I didn't know about And you're drafting me [Bridge] The history they teach us (All lies) The safety that we counted on (Won't survive) And now I'm in the middle Learning what they hide [Breakdown] Didn't ask for this Didn't ask for this But here I am Can't dismiss [Chorus] I was just trying to graduate Now I see There's a war underneath it all And it found me [Outro] Reading between the lines now Finding what's真 (true) The world I thought I lived in Was only half the view
