Turns out I didn't need saving
Sure, I was in hell
I came out heaving and sweating
I would have taken a hand if it was offered
But it wasn't
Those who couldn't make it were pulled out by the collar of their shirts

As much as I thought I was one of those being packed up and sent home
As much as I didn't want to be gasping on the ground that day
