the unfortunate incidence
of an infliction
stops my heart from beating
stops my lungs from breathing
stops my eyes from seeing

I don't know where I'm going
but I don't think that it's pleasant
I can tell from the tightness in my chest
that I will soon regret it

the only cure is freedom
but I can't run for
trying to keep breathing
I'm slipping and falling down

I'm locked inside a cage
made of my own bones
and my vision is blurred
from what my own eyes see

save me I'm going under
it's much harder to breathe here
in this twisted land of agony
it's all I can do to hold on

I bet you didn't see this coming
don't worry I tried to hide
the pain that is eating me alive
and now I'm scared it's killing me
but I'd like to die with my dignity

I'm sorry for all I've done to you
and all I never got the chance to say
farewell to all I love here
I'm sorry I must leave you
but this is the only way...
I can catch my breath
