i am sick of being underestimated
dismissed
overlooked
untapped
ignored
forgotten
replaceable
outdone
disposable
interchangeable
unimportant
undesired
forgettable
second rate
mediocre

im coming up from underneath
hitting you from behind
slamming into you from the side
destroying you while you're blind

you looked around me
for the last time
you leave me untapped
now i get what's mine

this is what i have to say
not what you think i have said
nothing that you want to hear
not that i wish i were dead

i am done being dismissed
i am done being forgettable
i am done being untapped
i am dome being disposable

no more of your shit
nothing more from you
now you listen to me
nothing more from you
stop thinking
stop talking
stop moving
stop breathing
stop whining
and listen to me

there is no more laughing
there is no more smiling
you will not forget this
i will not continue
being mediocre

like the moon cutting through a cloudy day
lighting up the darkness around you
for the first time your surroundings are seen
everything you fear has just come true
