Strung up, tuned to the key of anxiety   He watches intently   Stayed up, ruined another day of sleep   He drifts off immediately      And he's dreaming, waiting for his heart   To leave this throat back to his chest   Sleeve's wet with water from his brow   Up to the surface      Talked up, beat to the point of nothing   He washes discretely   Dressed up, covered from head to toe   Stripped down naked sleeping off the shame      Dreaming, waiting for his heart   To leave this throat back to his chest   Eyes wet his yawns   From a lack of air in head      How could I breathe with this elephant on my chest?   Just enough to live wide eyed alive   How could I think with my heart beating out of my chest?   I'm completely wide eyed alive      Thought process, come back to me   I'm practiced but out of my league   I'll dress this mannequin to mirror image   Then quench my thirst on this saltwater fountain      Now, how could I breathe?   Wide eyed alive, wide eyed alive   Now, how could I think?   Wide eyed alive, wide eyed alive      Now, how could I breathe?   Wide eyed alive, wide eyed alive   Now, how could I think?   Wide eyed alive, wide eyed alive      Now, how could I breathe?   Wide eyed alive, wide eyed alive
