Voices seem to shout my way,
Yet i hear nothing.
I am unfazed by the sound waves washing over my drowning body
Don't get me wrong
Your words mean more than just white-noise
However, my lungs inhale the good and bad mixed together
I'm getting your oxygen talk attached to the hydrogen blabber
I cannot determine the difference anymore
So i think the lie "I'm fine"
As I realize I've been holding my breath for longer than i thought i could
I'm drowning and all i hear is silence
I want to say something,
I just don't know what.
Words mean too much to be spewing hydrogen when you need oxygen
I don't know what my words will cost this time so i keep my mouth shut
I feel the burn of the screaming silence filling my lungs
Blurring my vision -wait no-
My eyes are closed
My memories are dancing in fast forward
I am fading away
I am drowning
I gasp for oxygen in a last attempt,
But I get the concoction that kills
And then my eyes fly open
And i see there isn't a drop of water in sight
Just you and me
...And oxygen
