The Lyrics:
[Pre-Chorus: Groundbreaking]
Hey, can I make it go away?
I can never catch a break
Mr. Universe coming down to seal my fate
Pay for my mistakes for the rest of my days
Everything I build gets drowned by the rain
Stress to my neck, paralyze my brain
Still in the body but it feels so fake
Go ahead and tell me that I’ll be okay
Go ahead and tell me that I’ll find my way
[Chorus: Groundbreaking, TryHardNinja]
Wait a bit and see
My fucking meltdown
Send it all on me
‘Cause I can take it
I’m just meant to be
A catalystic
Scapegoat for the free
Bring me to my knees
[Verse: Groundbreaking]
Through the panic and doubt, I am still so far below
Thoughts are getting heavy but I never let go
Soldier on my arm, always letting me know
I’ve still got so much to show
Send me to the light, I will not hide
Give it all you’ve got, I will still fight
This is only a matter of time, I must survive
[Bridge: TryHardNinja]
Yeah
We’re stuck in a meltdown
We’re stuck in a meltdown
[Chorus: Groundbreaking, TryHardNinja]
Wait a bit and see
My fucking meltdown
Send it all on me
‘Cause I can take it
I’m just meant to be
A catalystic
Scapegoat for the free
(Bring me to my knees)
