Breathing our way   through the same choking mud   that used to be our water   our bread and butter   Closing to the end   the suffocation even greater in bed   the fright   that used to be our guiding light   And we no longer know if this is real   have we forgotten how it is to feel   please speak to me now   come answer me how   cast away and burn your wretched disguise   be direct and say what's on your mind   stop killing me   toss out your bravery!   And if our ways would cross   be sure that no one even knows us   and if you gave the look   be sure I read you like an open book   Fighting my way   gasping on, yearning to stay away   from this nightmare   Step a bit aside   move on   catch what used to be your life   a double edged knife.
