Songtexte Ithaca - Sundown Lane

Sorry teacher, didn't pay attention
Been working my way through my depression
A pen in the hand is my distraction
A head in the sand is your reaction
Are my answers to your satisfaction
Are my answers to your satisfaction
Now here I am on the other side
Where did ten years go, what a wild ride
Put your phones away, copy down the slide
This will be on the test, you better study tonight
Are your answers to my satisfaction
Are your answers to my satisfaction

It's all that I got, it's not a whole lot
A pitiful pittance for what I am not
I will pay you with a poem
Cut my heart out from my sleeve
This hurt that I got, it's more than I thought
A lesson learned I already forgot
I will draw my glowing sword and
Show you this is not a dream

How high, how low
Do we dare go

One foot down, other out the door
Step into space in a search for more
Sail through the stars, some far-off shore
Safe in the port is not what ships are for
Despite the gods who smite the odds, the
Giant monsters their open jaws, the
Sirens' song to no applause
My fatal flaws, my facades
My odyssey, I'm long gone
I'm out the window, I'm beyond
There's no ambrosia, let's move on
No pantheon to call upon
Sorry teacher, been reading ahead
Didn't hear a single word that you said
Stuck in the story inside of my head
Stare at the air, I might be dead

It's not a whole lot
A pitiful pittance for what I am not
I will pay you with a poem
Cut my heart out from my sleeve
It's more than I thought
A lesson learned I already forgot
I will draw my glowing sword and
Show you this is not a dream

How high, how low
Do we dare go

It's all that I got, it's not a whole lot
A pitiful pittance for what I am not
This hurt that I got, it's more than I thought
A lesson learned I already forgot
It's all that I got, it's not a whole lot
A pitiful pittance for what I am not
This hurt that I got, it's more than I thought
A lesson learned I already forgot
It's all that I got, it's not a whole lot
A pitiful pittance for what I am not
This hurt that I got, it's more than I thought
A lesson learned I already forgot
It's all that I got, it's not a whole lot
A pitiful pittance for what I am not
This hurt that I got, it's more than I thought
A lesson learned I already forgot
It's all that I got

Is the answer to your satisfaction
Is the answer to my satisfaction
