and it is the worst, y'know, that descent into silence, slow and all at once, they say, that sudden shaking sadness. it springs outta nowhere, see, that pounce, that shadow consuming, and see, suddenly you’re hollow. suddenly you’re gone, or you wanna be gone— like my heart’s tryin’ to pound only my chest’s on lockdown and no words’ll come out my mouth; see now, it just seems there ain’t nothing i can do. nah, see, i’m sorry, just— some days, i am consumed.

there is an earthquake in my chest
and it is the worst, y'know, that descent into silence, slow and all at once, they say, that sudden shaking sadness. it springs outta nowhere, see, that pounce, that shadow consuming, and see, suddenly you’re hollow. suddenly you’re gone, or you wanna be gone— like my heart’s tryin’ to pound only my chest’s on lockdown and no words’ll come out my mouth; see now, it just seems there ain’t nothing i can do. nah, see, i’m sorry, just— some days, i am consumed.
intensity twelve: and my mind too is in calamity.
