slight tw: suicide mention

staring at the table and the empty board
i look down at my book
the words are all scrambled
they're scrambled with stupid lies

school, they promise us many benefits
" knowledge, wisdom, freedom from the outside world "
yet what they taught us were utter lies
they taught us how to kill ourselves with knowledge instead.
