I'm staring at the fall below into a sea that's churning
This mast my pride about to break held on by fingers burning
Tumultuous waves are nothing I can't handle
Having seen this metaphor before I know I'll swim through this once more
Was that verse oblique enough for you
To understand what i am going through
Or do you need this written out in plain text to understand that I'm depressed
Well fine, we're all running out of time
So let me ditch this rhyming scheme
There's inadequate context to define this fatigue
You can ask me why I'm tired all the time
But I can't guarantee an answer
give me the chance to sleep
let me find the answers that i need
I'm sick of being angry half the time
like my whole generation
we know we're fucked by years of
systematic segregation
I'm hopeful that this shit will pass
but until then we're struggling to start
we aren't meant to be
the heirs of broken hearts
This shout into the void is nothing short of painful
to have to repeat over and over and over and over and over and
I'm not okay I know I'm not okay
I'm not okay and I know thats okay
I'm not okay but one day I'll be fine
Right now I'm really just tired of waiting
Help me, save me
I'm slipping again
This ship is sinking
I'm going down again
Grasping for life i thought I'd make it through
But this kraken knows me far too well
But it all comes back again
