Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every day, I go to a school that likes to help with learning
One, two, threes they're the keys
Basic math, very easy
To Baldi's world of fun, where no one leaves 'til educated
Every door is locked up tight, stay inside 'til we're graded

[Pre-Chorus]
The students try their best to better their education
Comprehend the material
Study hard, relay every detail
Nobody wants detention, we only want attention
Even when life is tough
Oddly, quarters are enough

[Chorus]
This is how we live our lives, searching
For the answers inside of every page
And I'm here wondering if one day
We'll finally be free from this cage
Is it okay to have a feeling
That maybe there is more to this game?
However, now no time to question, so just behave

[Verse 2]
Walking across the hallways, finding notebooks so we matter
Follow every single rule or he'll take out his wooden ruler
For he is listening and watching everyone's progression
All mistakes have consequences, so answer right with every question
[Pre-Chorus]
Try to add up excuses, nothing will make a difference
Baldi knows every door that we open
Following from behind, we can hear him
There is no place for playtime
Avoid them all from every side
Better to leave him be, follow his philosophy

[Chorus]
This is how we live our lives, searching
For the answers inside of every page
And I'm here wondering if one day
We'll finally be free from this cage
Is it okay to have a feeling
That maybe there is more to this game?
However, now just keep behaving

[Bridge: OR3O]
Sweep through the halls
To escape will have some sacrifices
No room for jealousy
I've got no time to play hide and seek
'Cause eventually, he'll surely find me
Have to be brave or better keep behaving

[Pre-Chorus]
Count
'Til I don't know what counts

[Chorus]
Every inch of fear is all that's ingrained
Can't understand, what's the solution?
The problem is the mess in my brain
I'm pushed around with all the pressure
To be here when I don't wanna stay
There's gotta be some sort of exit to get away
