Half a breath held The other half pacing Your fists are clenched Your neck muscles, tightening You become lightheaded As your heart starts racing Less carbon dioxide Sends a million thoughts flying Then you realize You're no longer holding The other half breath That you were repressing You enlist help from your stomach While your chest is heaving Now you're FULL ON DOWNRIGHT HYPERVENTILATING And as your heart pounds Your eyes, rapidly blinking Your mind's befuddled By all that's happening That you totally lose track Of what you were thinking Except how to stop Yourself from hyperventilating

Full On, Downright
Half a breath held The other half pacing Your fists are clenched Your neck muscles, tightening You become lightheaded As your heart starts racing Less carbon dioxide Sends a million thoughts flying Then you realize You're no longer holding The other half breath That you were repressing You enlist help from your stomach While your chest is heaving Now you're FULL ON DOWNRIGHT HYPERVENTILATING And as your heart pounds Your eyes, rapidly blinking Your mind's befuddled By all that's happening That you totally lose track Of what you were thinking Except how to stop Yourself from hyperventilating
