Hold Your Breath

Hold your breath

Feel them circling around

The wall's alive

Don't scream or make a sound

 

It's time to go

Heart's beating like a drum

Feet touch ground

The steel rings an awful hum

 

Turn around

See what lies on the ground

Your dying soul

Strapped without a sound

 

Leave behind

Your whole life to start again

Try to find

A way to breathe again

 

Sorry kid

We tried to stop all you've done

Now stop and look

=And face what you've become
