I know things you'll never know
I know how my heartbeat stops when I lie in bed
I know the smiles on my family's face when I tell a joke
I know the breaths I hear in the silence aren't mine to waste
I hold my breath
And look around
Waiting for angels to appear
They said,
Hold your breath and watch the angels
Suffocation is the only way
To see things you would never even- in your wildest dreams-
Open your eyes to an alternate reality
Gag your mouth and tie the knot
Wait
Just
…
Wait
…
Can you hear?
Your heartbeat?
In your throat?
The angels are rising from the dead
They come to visit you
Will they take you?
Will they help you… out?
Can you hear?
Your heartbeat?
Is running out of… time?
