Not too long after our character goes through the amazing event of birth.....he's thrown into a box....a box called schooling.

lyrics

The instant I entered this place, I wanted to leave
I didn't want to learn anything...at least not there
But if I didn't I would never leave
My only recourse was drawing on the margins....

On the margins, on silver lines
Drawing on the margins, saving some of my mind

No matter how well the teacher told I was doing, it never felt right
No sense of accomplishment
I was just glad the day was over and could go home....from this slow clock
My only recourse was drawing on the margins.....drawing on.....

On the margins, on silver lines
Drawing on the margins, saving some of my mind

And the bell rings and it's a jailbreak!! For our ALLOTTED free time.

Walked home, read stories warning us of the "crazy ones" who happened to end up drawing on the margins....
