Simulating Respiration

Asphyxiate in your shadow

Simulating respiration

Incompatible with this life

Rip this tube from my throat and watch me die

As my chest is left hollow

Forced to breathe by machine

I had a dream that I never existed

And woke up with a hand in my chest

Pulling on my heart strings

Dragging me closer to my end

Carved into my skin

Etched into my brain

Blood drowned lungs

A silent voice

No mouth left to speak

Paralysed in my sleep

Agonised as I breathe

I had a dream that I never existed

And woke up with a hand in my chest

Pulling on my heart strings

And dragging me closer to my end
