lyrics

it's midnight I strap my right foot on the pedal and I feel a drop of rain I strap my left foot 2 miles per hour hit me I hear you make a joke to a stranger who doesn't share your sense of humor and my blood boils to sugar you have never felt the other side of the grass between your toes and it is not greener it is dead hit me 5 miles per hour the rain picks up and my legs are starting to feel like the inside of my head hit me you will never understand 10 miles per hour people are laughing together it's 2 past 12 the concrete has never felt so sticky I feel my dinner rushing up my throat hit me 15 miles per hour I only stop if there's a pedestrian hit me I can't tell if it's rain or sweat in between my fingers hit me there's so many people there are so many people who deal with the things you say hit me I can feel the wind of the cars next to me hit me I can feel my body twist and turn just from my own thoughts hit me I can feel the air grow thinner as my breaths grow shorter I can't help but cry hit me I can't help but despise myself for not speaking up hit me I slam the brakes I put my key into the lock and go inside.
