Black and White - Jack Campbell

Let’s judge this fish on how it climbs a tree

I can only wish it wasn’t just like me

The world only cares if you can climb an evergreen

But then it turns around and lies and tells you to go for your dreams

And I’m losing control sitting at home

I don’t wanna be alone

I poured my heart out on a college app

And my life became a circus act

And we’re jumping through hoops

But all we wanna do is get something from you

By passing all your tests and going on to school

Do you think we like to deal with your shit

We’re cramming in a model we will never fit

And don’t you try to label me defective

And don’t you try to label me defective

Cause once I step back a little bit, they’ll eat me alive

And I refuse to see life in black and white

I refuse to give up this fight

And there’s nothing you can throw

That’ll get me down

I know what makes me smile

And I plan to skip town

When you touch one thing in the mix

Everything else will seem loud

I need your stability fix

Before I start to spiral down

Let’s judge this fish on how it climbs a tree

I can only wish it wasn’t just like me

The world only cares if you can climb an evergreen

But then it turns around and lies and tells you to go for your dreams
