These problems that surround me constantly
Tearing at me, suddenly I'm not vulnerable
Now it's expected, all those times I've been rejected
And now it's time to load the barrel, and shoot the gun
It's been taken too far, and I've let my mind linger in the stars
Now it's time to come back down to earth
Let me take my final oath
Let me quickly tie the rope
Of all those problems I'm not the waste of existence
And now I can't show anymore resistance
I can't say I'm unaffected

Open the curtains, what do you see?
A shadow of a once spry shred of unnormality.
And, now that we've lost the war, all we have is shreds of nostalgia.
Looking back, I see the trees.
In the distance, in the cave of the crystals, they simply sipped their tea.
