Sulfur ( /ˈsʌlfər/ SUL-fər) or sulphur (British English; see spelling below) is the chemical element with atomic number 16. In the periodic table it is represented by the symbol S. It is an abundant, multivalent non-metal. Under normal conditions, sulfur atoms form cyclic octatomic molecules with chemical formula S8. Elemental sulfur is a bright yellow crystalline solid when at room temperature. Chemically, sulfur can react as either an oxidant or reducing agent. It oxidizes most metals and several nonmetals, including carbon, which leads to its negative charge in most organosulfur compounds, but it reduces several strong oxidants, such as oxygen and fluorine. It is also the lightest element to easily produce stable exceptions to the octet rule.
In nature, sulfur can be found as the pure element and as sulfide and sulfate minerals. Elemental sulfur crystals are commonly sought after by mineral collectors for their brightly colored polyhedron shapes. Being abundant in native form, sulfur was known in ancient times, mentioned for its uses in ancient Greece, China and Egypt. Sulfur fumes were used as fumigants, and sulfur-containing medicinal mixtures were used as balms and antiparasitics. Sulfur is referenced in the Bible as brimstone in English, with this name still used in several nonscientific tomes. It was needed to make the best quality of black gunpowder. In 1777, Antoine Lavoisier helped convince the scientific community that sulfur was a basic element, rather than a compound.

Ripa graduated from Eastern High School in Voorhees Township, New Jersey, where she became a cheerleader and was later encouraged by her drama teacher to pursue acting.

She attended Camden County College studying psychology, but dropped out and moved to New York City to be an actress.
My guilt and my shame
Always sell me short, always feel the same
And my face and my soul
Always wear me thin, always under control
But the longest hours you?ll have in your life
Are the ones you sit through to know if you?re right
So I?ll wait but I pray that I'm wrong
Because I think I know what?s going on
So let me get this straight
The only will is my own
I do whatever I want and stay alone
All my decisions make it untouchable and tainted
I'm gonna suffer for the rest of my life
But I will always find a way to survive
I'm not a failure but I know what it?s like
I can take it or leave it or die
Stay, you don?t always know where you stand
Till you know that you won?t run away
There?s something inside me that feels
Like breathing in sulfur
My life is undone
And I'm a sinner to most but a sage to some
And my Gods are untrue
I'm probably wrong but I'm better than you
And the longest hours I?ve had in my life
Were the ones I went through to know I was right
So I'm safe but I'm a little outside
I'm gonna laugh when I'm buried alive
Stay, you don?t always know where you stand
Till you know that you won?t run away
There?s something inside me that feels
Like breathing in sulfur, like breathing in sulfur
Like breathing in sulfur
Like breathing in sulfur
Stay, you don?t always know where you stand
Till you know that you won?t run away
There?s something inside me that feels
Like breathing in sulfur, like breathing in sulfur
Stay, you don?t always know where you stand
(You don?t always know where you stand)
Till you know that you won?t run away
There?s something inside me that feels
(There?s something inside me that feels)
Like breathing in sulfur, like breathing in sulfur
Like breathing in sulfur
Like breathing in sulfur
Like breathing in sulfur
I'm drawing back time
to feel things once again
as when I had found them
I saw you grow older
saw myself grow older too
but not as much as you
if I only knew
I had sulfur in my heart
but not enough strenght to give it a spark
I didn't know when to start
when we were bright or when we were dark
I had a wind in my chest
blew as hard as it ever could
I could have written books for you
if I only knew
I held my head down I know
and you walked around in circles
I'm sure you already knew
if I only knew it too
so much I want to ask you
you have no time to let me do so
there is no light in my pathway
Verse 1:
He used to be in love.
But his aggression turned to hate.
He looks happy cause he smiles.
When really he's going to break.
This tortured little boy.
With an animal locked inside.
But when you hear this lion's roar.
It's much too late.
Verse 2:
Does she worry that she's not liked?
Cause what they say behind her back.
The tears held in her eyes.
It's generally kind of sad.
This suicidal girl.
Was beaten down & raped.
Invisible like a plate of glass,
with a fucked up shape.
Chorus:
I'm thinking why, yeah
We wish we were dead.
& why yeah, the issues in our head.
& why yeah, they're always six steps ahead.
Why is this world full of agony & pain?
Verse 3:
Does he want this pain to stop?
Or does he want it to go on?
No matter what the disease.
It'll always stay as strong.
This derogatory child.
Wants something new & fresh.
Waiting for a time to strike.
Smelling his own burning flesh.
Chorus
Verse 4:
These children cursed for life.
Writing words like this.
No more tears to shed.
To express this Hell within.
This world of ignorance.
Always looks away.
Like dirt beneath the fingernails.
They're always there.
Chorus
I'm thinking why, why.
Doesn't anybody ever know?
Doesn't anybody ever know?
Doesn't anybody ever know?
That the world is drowning, drowning.
Doesn't anybody ever know?
Doesn't anybody ever know?
Doesn't any, any, any, any, any.
Doesn't any, any, any, any, any.
Doesn't anybody ever know?
