LYRIC It's 80 degrees outside Waters warm and it's low tide Everyone's getting high, but i'm empty and I can still see sunlight but it don't really feel so bright Not a cloud in the sky, but it don't seem right Screaming but nothing comes out, don't know when to ask for help It's loud in here. I ain't proud of here.
