I feel my breathing start receding
My heart in turn slowing
My depression is advancing
And yet I I'm giving everything
What's it like to care and leave it hanging in the air
But now it's instead fear
I gave you my dreams and built a foundation upon you
And now this is what I do
A line here a line there until my skin looks like a barcode
But the price is paid in red
What's the point in speaking
If I feel the words receding
My head is pounding as the blood flows elsewhere
It's as if my life is slipping away anywhere but here
I fought and I fought for all the wrong reasons I fought for you and my friends
Too bad they weren't here for the bitter end
My leg has become a waterfall of red
But fills me with longing instead
My face turns pale and paler still
Until my heart has paid its bill
A breath out and a breath in
This is more pretense
My hope is gone and my will is past shot
For this life I lived isn't what you thought
