Total shock in an assortment of friends
In thoughts to go along with the rest in my head

It's what you meant

Against the pit in my stomach I couldn't begin to shake off
So in the back of my mind
My brain has rendered me silent
Which not a soul around me could understand
"Connecticut Steps"- Into It. Over It.
