People tell me I'm extraordinary
That I'm too smart to be wasting it
I'm trying my hardest
But my heart, rock solid
Is slowly crumbling
Into nothing
They want me to be fearless
Someone who will be the best
But they want me to break
So they can mold me into something perfect
Can they see I'm slowly
Losing every sense of sanity
I'm already desperate to hold onto
It keeps raining
thunder and lightening
Roars inside my head
Any drop that begs to stay
In the dry lakes of my heart
Are drained like every aspect
Of humanity I beg to still be a part of
They are breaking every part of me
I consider to be gentle and sweet
Because I'm extraordinary
But if I stop running for once
And slow down
Will they find someone to replace me,
Someone just as extraordinary
Someone who's going to be better
A better remoulded version of what they used to be
Burnt in the oven, screaming as they freeze
We're all just tools to them
Just a bunch of fools
Who were born extraordinary
