 I guess the way I feel is the way that I felt before

 High tide
salt in my cut,
                 these are things
                  that I can ignore But should I
 collapse in  on myself  like  an iron core

 Don’t count me out    just yet       Just yet…

  I seeee   a light on the horizon,
              this is do or die

  The rope I grip
       is ripping off my skin
        but I won’t let it take my life

  I know this is far more than I had bargained for

  I’ve lost that spaaaark    again

But…

I never let it set
in and I really
underestimated

         All the
         decimated people
         living day to day

          And then it hit me
                like a truck

                 I finally
            changed my limitations

                Trading mass assimilation for a better education

As ignorant and devastated
Well below my station flawed
      in every single way

            I hope I took my medication
 It’s upsetting I can see the overwhelming fascination
                   Armageddon’s not the one you want

                                     Armageddon’s n

So break!
