Everything is so huge
Alone in a desert with no refuge
No matter how far I go, I stay in one place
I can't think straight
What a cruel twist of fate
I can't show my face

I am so small
I feel like nothing at all
They all smile without a care
Behind a mask, I cower
Locked away in my high tower
With a sigh, I ignore the tear

Thousands of waves crash and churn
I'm whisked away, air is what I yearn
Water is in my lungs, mind, body, and soul
I'm so cold, shivering in fear
No one has come, no one is here
The fire in me dies from lack of coal

Help me, I'm drowning in air
I feel as though I'm not really there
What do they think?
Everything is a blur
I have caused this to incur
Give the suicide drink

Heaving and crying
Smiling and lying
I'm not safe on land or in sea
Claws pull me down to hell
Into my special torture cell
"Help, I can't breath."I plea

The fear and the dark have settled in
No, never will I win
Unstoppable, invisible forces knock me down
Air, land, sea, and sky
**** me as I yell why
Feel the elements pull and drown

It's all one storm
The worst has come in an angry swarm
I see safety as I take my leave
No more tiring nights
No more one sided fights
Sighing and taking a heave

Breath
