It turns out that breathing is far from living The presence of a pulse is no guarantee you’re alive I’d been told this before Arrogance, ignorance, I’ll throw away all I am told! Find it out for myself Why should I believe what you say Who are you to help me? I want to scramble I want to fall down Crash into a power pole and forget my past Jump into the water and forget to come up I assure you, I’ll be fine In and out I have a fully functional heart, Atria and ventricles, depolarise and contract send my blood surging My lungs are functional I can even hear and see all by myself I have air and water and nutrients I have everything I need, sir, Everything I need.

Everything I Need
It turns out that breathing is far from living The presence of a pulse is no guarantee you’re alive I’d been told this before Arrogance, ignorance, I’ll throw away all I am told! Find it out for myself Why should I believe what you say Who are you to help me? I want to scramble I want to fall down Crash into a power pole and forget my past Jump into the water and forget to come up I assure you, I’ll be fine In and out I have a fully functional heart, Atria and ventricles, depolarise and contract send my blood surging My lungs are functional I can even hear and see all by myself I have air and water and nutrients I have everything I need, sir, Everything I need.
