It turns out that breathing is far from living
The presence of a pulse is no guarantee you’re alive

I’d been told this before
Arrogance, ignorance,
I’ll throw away all I am told!
Find it out for myself
Why should I believe what you say
Who are you to help me?

I want to scramble
I want to fall down
Crash into a power pole and forget my past
Jump into the water and forget to come up

I assure you, I’ll be fine
In and out
I have a fully functional heart,
Atria and ventricles, depolarise and contract
send my blood surging
My lungs are functional
I can even hear and see all by myself
I have air and water and nutrients
I have everything I need, sir,
Everything I need.
