I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe.

distant blurry bleary
out of focus vision draining away
to blackout. out of myself removed from my body

I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe

tense tense tense; nauseous pressure in my chest
suddenly I'm Numb  
an empty vacant vessel

my head is filled with gauze
I can't breathe, I can't think, I can't move, I can't hear
I can't feel.

Detached, disconnected, despondent, dead
divorced from reality with nothing
just dread and anxiety

a persistent refrain
muffled behind cotton fog
a distant urgent shadow

I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
