I try to breathe
But these lungs have collapsed beneath my heavy heart
And doesn't beat like it used to
What have you done to me?
I had fresh air in these lungs and now I'm suffocating
God, I wish I knew the reason why.
I try to see
But darkness has its tendrils stitched into my eyes
And it doesn't let me see the way I used to
What have I done to me?
I saw colours and now I see a void
God, I wish I knew the reason why
I try to hear
But silence has pierced my ear drums
And I can't hear the way I used to
What has it done to me?
I heard sweet songs and now I hear nothing
God, I wish I knew the reason why.
I try to taste
But numbness has rendered my tongue to paralysis
And I can't taste like I used to.
What has the world done to me?
I tasted sweet fruit and now I taste nothing
God I wish I knew the reason why.
I try to feel
But I'm so stiff that I can't move my limbs or body
And I can't feel like I used to
What has been done to me?
I used to feel the warm sun and the cool wind
and now I feel no such thing
God, I wish I knew the reason why.
Breathing, hearing, seeing, tasting, feeling,
Where are you?
What has the world done to me?
I'm nothing but a still corpse
I can't breathe, I can't hear, I can't see, I can't taste, I can't feel
That's it!
I now know the reason why,
I can't sense anything because I AM a still corpse, because I AM dead.
