  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!
