  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!
