Plight of learning

And under a silent sea of acid,

We learn to toil and grieve,

We learn to make love and war,

We learn to speak and spit

True lies

Iced with spine-chilling gore,

We learn to smile and steal

A kiss

Bereft of everlasting innocence.

And under a silent sea of acid,

We learn to breathe.
