you&#039;re only as tall <br /> as your heart will let you be <br /> and you&#039;re only as small <br /> as the world will make you seem <br /> and when the going gets rough <br /> and you feel like you may fall <br /> just look on the bright side <br /> your roughly six feet tall

The world is suffocating all around me
I am chocking on this smoke and dust.

Waiting for someone to save me
I should’ve known not to trust.

My life is ending, fading, disintegrating
And all I can do is stand here and watch.

Because it’s to late to start retaliating
We watch as the world does mock.
