Raise a glass to the demons of our past
Class is in session let our trauma teach a lesson.
Toast to the dark days, pain be a sensei
Hear what our sins say
Raise a glass to the demons of our past
Class is in session let our trauma teach a lesson.
Toast to the dark days, pain be a sensei
Hear what our sins say
Raise a glass to the demons of our past
Class is in session let our trauma teach a lesson.
Raise a glass to the demons of our past
Class is in session let our trauma teach a lesson.
I thought learning was cool
Was a mathlete in school.
Seventh grade making grades
Cracked the code for straight As
No cheat code but days and days of
Study and discipline poured like
Glycerin
On brain cells stoke flames of potential.
I was into hard knocks when it came to my mental
I was into deep thoughts when I dreamed what I'm fin do
I was into scary plots when I knew where to run to.
I was into real talk if I gained fundamentals.
Pivotal moments arrived when what happens outside
Starts to fester inside
Without a textbook to hide in
The lessons of school suddenly
Seem like the wrong tools
The trauma ain't trig
And the labor ain't Lit.
And the process ain't lit.
I ask God can I handle it.
I always liked learning but I
Pray to you not this
I always loved lessons but I
Pray to you not this.
I pray to you not this ; I beseech you not this.
These are the lessons we shun!
These are the lessons we shun!

Raise a glass to the demons of our past
Class is in session let our trauma teach a lesson.
Toast to the dark days, pain be a sensei
Hear what our sins say
Life is a juggernaut dealing death blows to egos,
Death throes to heroes, death notes to people,
With each trauma I die, but 3 days later I'm
Alive again; born again to sin and try to live with
New illumination. Earned revelation. [PAUSE] Not from
Teachers or a good book but from the echoes of suffering. Guess I'm a
Survivor by circumstance, Learned to go through to get to,
From the mother in the amen corner clean on the front pew.
Pass me not o gentle savior what's these burdens to bear,
The medicine you let set in makes it hard to breathe in,
If chest caves in and compression makes the rooms spin,
I ask you Timekeeper to what end?
Raise a glass to the demons of our past

Toast to the dark days, pain be a sensei
Hear what our sins say
Raise a glass to the demons of our past
Class is in session let our trauma teach a lesson.
Toast to the dark days, pain be a sensei
Hear what our sins say
