When Everything Crumbles

It all happened right in front of my eyes
It took me one second and then I realized

What can I do, at which end do I start?
Do I follow my brain or just go with my heart?

What can I say without making it worse?
Should I wait and watch or should I go head first?

What do we do when sanity crumbles?
How do we handle the threat?
How do we act when dignity stumbles?
How do we live with regret?

No time to think, either I act or I walk
Should I go in between or just try to talk?

The longer I wait the worse everything gets
And the verbal abuse turns into physical threats

What do we do when sanity crumbles?
How do we handle the threat?
How do we act when dignity stumbles?
How do we live with regret?

What do we do when sanity crumbles?
How do we handle the threat?
How do we act when dignity stumbles?
How do we live with regret?

It all happened right in front of my eyes
It took me one second and then I realized
If I don't react next time it might be me
What can I do, at which end do I start?
Do I follow my brain or just go with my heart?
Should I walk on by and pretend that I didn't see?

What do we do when sanity crumbles?
How do we handle the threat?
How do we act when dignity stumbles?
How do we live with regret?

What do we do when sanity crumbles?
How do we handle the threat?
How do we act when dignity stumbles?
How do we live with regret?
