Now the world, my oyster
Dropped the last pen
No exams no more
Waited my whole life for this time

Now the world, my oyster
Slept student woke up Dockay
Sleep no sin no more. Should be writing all day
But I'm not. Sleeping all day baby!

Now the world, my oyster
Not feeling like it.
All I've ever known was book
No school no more also
Means no me no more

Gave myself
To a life that isn't mine.
Read a million pages
For a job I'd leave behind
Now the world, my oyster

Tell me
How do I begin to tell him?
To say, Father, you trained me 8 years
in school
I'm quitting as payback. Quitting it all to
bury my fate in the dark

A place where I have to dig, and dig.
What scares me is what I will find.
Give me courage, Father of my Creation.
To bring harmony to my two-faced soul.
Each morning one tries to devour the other

Ying-Yang, Light and Darkness. Courage, Father. Now the world....

Free or stripped naked
My journey begins
My story begins
My life, my life...

My oyster.
