I’m gasping for air
But there is no air to grasp onto
Begging for someone to care
But that’s something they won’t do

They watch as life pours out
And as my blood drains
Making it’s way about
Surrounding me like water in hurricanes

I continue to drown
In this pool of hate
While everybody around
Let it happen without debate

I just want to be loved
I just want to matter
Not to get pushed and shoved
And get thrown away deep without ladders

I’m gasping for air
But there is no air to grasp onto
Begging for someone to care
But that’s something they won’t do
