I know they'll catch up in the end.
I have a feeling that the truth will eventually come out or be exposed.

I sense myself losing balance and control in the busy environment.

It's too rough I tumble in the gravel and the rubble can you hear me call
The situation is too tough for me to handle, and I need help or support from someone who can hear me.

Well with a wheezing chest and a leaking ceiling,
I'm experiencing breathing problems and a damaged ceiling with leaks.

Baby next door screaming all evening,
A baby from the adjacent room has been screaming for hours.
