There are bright lights in my eyes
I'm dressed in all white
This was the final battle
And I've lost the fight

My flesh has become a canvas
There are tubes clenching my arms
I have a painstaking ache to be free
And these doctors won't stop the alarms

I've broken free of the bed
And traced my pains on the wall
My eyes scan the room blankly
And on you they don't fall

These mutilated arms long to hold you
Waiting for everyone to leave is a chore
I've missed you too long, dear
I'll just fall to the floor

The doctors are gone now
And I didn't yell
When I slipped from the window
And laughed as I fell

I've been longing too long
My mind's finally cracked
All I needed to live
Was for you to come back
