The pressure keeps building. And although I've never failed them, they keep going and going, Pressuring me until I'm at wits' end. Ashamed, rejected, revoked, repressed, like a whale distinct from the others by its own, unique tone, I'm forced to wander alone in this vast, ocean of people cold as stone. Indeed, I'm at my wits' end The pent up emotions of which I cannot contain are all about to burst, but still, I refrain because who likes to be pressured under certain circumstances so mundane? So mundane, that in fact they can never, EVER Weigh as much as I can contain. I'm a bomb. And indeed, I'm about to blow up the fuse within me is already lit up in a minute or so, the culprits who had set me up Will be blown away by my sudden rage. But if only they had the courage to douse me with their water of forgiveness, then perhaps in a few seconds or less, My fuse would cease in its track. Still, they were careless, careless in my handling It seems my fuse will still keep on going Once I explode, they will be loathing. The pressure keeps building. And although I've never failed them... ...they WILL keep on going and going.

At Wits' End
The pressure keeps building. And although I've never failed them, they keep going and going, Pressuring me until I'm at wits' end. Ashamed, rejected, revoked, repressed, like a whale distinct from the others by its own, unique tone, I'm forced to wander alone in this vast, ocean of people cold as stone. Indeed, I'm at my wits' end The pent up emotions of which I cannot contain are all about to burst, but still, I refrain because who likes to be pressured under certain circumstances so mundane?
