If you have to grade me
On how I speak
I must warn you
It is a disaster
waiting to happen.
It all starts
At the epicenter,
Also known as my heart
Feeling as though
It is being squeezed.
And then the tremors start.
They f-first arr-rive
At m-my h-hands
A-andmy m-m-mouth
Then a-a tsu tsuna mi
Sends waves waves
Waves o-of p-p-panic

Wrack-wracking de-dest-destruction
An-and e-e-everything else

P-please be prepared
F-for afew l-leaks
F-from m-my eyes.
