And suddenly I knew that my world was about to change I knew I'd have a week to do what I've been forcing everyone else to do for months And suddenly I broke The room was silent but I heard noise The sound of every persons voice I knew the floor was solid but it shook My legs just trembled, I was an open book My head collapsed, each neuron failing But did I really have the right to be ailing? I couldn't eat, I choked on liquid And if anything controlled me, anxiety did I wanted to run but I panicked instead My legs felt like they were made of lead The room just spun like a merry go round I did everything I could to find solid ground And slowly I knew there was nothing but facts. Nothing but the cold hard truth of responsibility And slowly I let myself cry

Suddenly- slowly
And suddenly I knew that my world was about to change I knew I'd have a week to do what I've been forcing everyone else to do for months And suddenly I broke The room was silent but I heard noise The sound of every persons voice I knew the floor was solid but it shook My legs just trembled, I was an open book My head collapsed, each neuron failing But did I really have the right to be ailing? I couldn't eat, I choked on liquid And if anything controlled me, anxiety did I wanted to run but I panicked instead My legs felt like they were made of lead The room just spun like a merry go round I did everything I could to find solid ground And slowly I knew there was nothing but facts. Nothing but the cold hard truth of responsibility And slowly I let myself cry
