Math Lyrics by Sara Kays
All of my teachers were right
I use math everyday in my life
I add, subtract, divide
And most of the time it makes me wanna die
‘Cause the number below my feet
And the number below my spine
And the numbers on the menu are always too high
So I don’t know how low I have to go
‘Cause I wake up in my body and it never feels like home
I feel like I’m in another person’s house, I can’t get out
So I don’t know how low I have to go
I wanna rewire my mind
So I don’t care if there’s a space between my thighs
It keeps me up at night
To think I’ll calculate until the day I die
‘Cause the number below my feet
And the number below my spine
And the numbers on the manual are always too high
So I don’t know how low I have to go
‘Cause I wake up in my body and it never feels like home
I feel like I’m in another person’s house, I can’t get out
So I don’t know how low I have to go
I don’t know how low
All the numbers in my mind
Are set out to ruin my life
I don’t wanna let them win, but they just might
And I know this is a problem
That I’m improperly solving
When I say I’ll just go lower one more time
So I don’t know how low I have to go
‘Cause I wake up in my body and it never feels like home
I feel like I’m in another person’s house, I can’t get out
So I don’t know how low I have to go
I don’t know how low
No, I don’t know how low I have to go
(I don’t know how low)
