black math

Don't you think that I'm bound to react now?
Well my fingers definitely turning to black now
Yeah maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice yeah
My books are sitting at the top of the stack now
Well the longer words are really breaking my back now
Yeah maybe I'll learn to understand
Drawing a square with a pencil in hand yeah
Mathematically turning the page
Unequivocally showing my age
I'm practically center stage
Undeniably earning your wage
Well maybe I'll put my love on ice
Teach myself, maybe that'll be nice yeah
Listen master can you answer a question
Is it the fingers, or the brains
that you're teaching the lesson?
Oh I cant tell you how proud Iam
Im writing down things that I dont understand
Well maybe I'll put my love on ice
And teach myself, maybe that'll be nice yeah
