leap over sidewalks

skipping stones to ripple this still reservoir

i've been mislead

i've hindered someone who struggles to throw that far

a chance they could fall in

drown to never be found

their only fear

we're going to take this one

sorry, didn't see you lying there

kicking and screaming

just trying to keep my balance

i'm sure you wanted that apology

but i've been weaving, stepping 

over your limbs

i've always been that polite

lend a hand but you resent to meet halfway

and we're always stepping on someone's toes

just in case you didn't notice

i think you failed to even notice

hold me down

i'll kick before i break

you're a preschooler holding a megaphone

timid, are we inferior?

bite your tongue

many walls you whisper to

the echoes made their way through

these caved in halls were built by you

only you

and we're always stepping on someone's toes

just in case you didn't notice

i think you failed to even notice

hold me down

i kick before i break

hold me down

i bend before i break

complexion breaks

it never changes now
