Do you ever sit down
And everything that's ever happened
Crashes upon you at once
You're drowning in air
Unable to see
Exhaustion plays no part in the role of remembrance
And you are reminded of those people
The ones that helped, the ones who betrayed
They say that people change
They don't
People don't change
They adapt
They say that the history of the world can change in a single moment
And you think of all your moments
And the pain, and the regrets, and the sadness
As our society would say, it's sad, beautiful tragic
And you think and think
And you're engulfed in this nightmare
People move around you, not knowing that
You're mentally breaking
Wave after wave
Crashes on you
You struggle to keep yourself afloat
But as one memory passes
Another dawns itself upon you
You're suffering
The world is upside down
What did we ever do to deserve this
To be swallowed in the sea
But we come up, and we go to shore
We walk along the heavenly beaches
Each grain of sand has its own story to tell
And now we know we will never escape
The memories are just haunting
Forms of torture
And once this is realized, we start to accept
And with acceptance comes a cure
With the knowledge that a promised past
Can lead to a hopeful future
And you won't rid yourself of what you have done
No one really does
But if you never stop fighting
Against those demonic, cruel things
You will succeed
And you will continue
And the world will be right side up again
