It's this song.

It's always this song.

It makes me feel like I can breathe when nothing else can.

My lungs open up at the starting note, and pretty soon I'm gasping for air, filling my lungs with the pure substance that kills me.

My numbness starts to leave as the oxygen flows through my body.

The pain starts as air spreads to my limbs.

This song.

It's giving me life, and feeling, and so much more than I deserve, and I can't handle it.

My body, so unused to feeling the pain I go through, cannot handle the reality of my feelings.
