I wish I could simply rewind the clock
This feeling I've gotta learn to block.
Feels like my heart is under shock
My thoughts I can't even unlock.

I should've known it wouldn't last
Just like everyone from the past.
This ship ended with a broken mast
I wished my life would blink by fast.

Amidst the crowded halls
This girl just always falls.
She can't even pick herself up within these walls
Cries echoing in empty stalls.

Broken inside and out
She can't help but give into doubt.
She screams and she will shout
But she won't like to do without.

The nickname she used to love
Sends her into a cave.
Not knowing how to deal
She'll learn once again to kill.

The person she used to be
Can only be found under the sea.
And promises are now broken
She hasn't even spoken.

So she stays awake,panic in her lungs
Smoke swirling around the rungs.
Feeling the terror and the dread
Looking at the end dead ahead.

Wishing to come to an end
Really needing a fucking friend
She threw herself into the deep end

Hating the nicknames
All they do is maim.
Wishing all she could do is tame
Her broken heart of pain.
