This is Living

Don’t ever say I always wanted this to be a
test of being alone, you’re never on your own.
You never said you ever wanted this to be the best part of your day, you’d rather suffocate.
Oh, as the choirs start to sing, this is the sound of regret. You’ll never see the same sunrise again.
And now the quiet has set in, I know that I won’t forget we’ll never see the same sunrise again.
I never knew that I’d repeat myself again.
This is a fallacy, this is hypocrisy.
Don’t ever say that I wanted to believe in everything and though you’re all alone you’ll never right your wrongs.
Oh, as the choirs start to sing, this is the sound of regret. You’ll never see the same sunrise again.
And now the quiet has set in, I know that I won’t forget we’ll never see the same sunrise again.
There is no conversation,
no need to look me in the eye.
There is no conversation, so there’s no need.
There is no conversation.
So, I guess that this is living now. This is a fallacy, this is hypocrisy. So, I guess that this is living.

Call the Doctor

Call the doc! She’s bleeding.
The loss of blood is deceiving.
I need some help. A surgeon.
Come on nurse it’s urgent.
There’s a pulse. Heart’s beating.
Could someone else please lead here?
You took an oath. Your duty.
It’s running out. Just breathe in.
Night shifts and nightmares.
Your time is running out.
There’s nothing I can do here.
Neon mountains are all that you have.
Fight for your life,
in my hands,
are trembling.
A spark in your eye.
(I) cannot breathe life in to you.
Now I see you in the ICU, attached to an IV.
Now I see you in the ICU.
This is how I save a life but I can’t sleep at night.

Die Alone

You might be breathless but I am beaten down.
Is it worth you throwing in the towel?
And though you’re breathless, this still lingers on.
We live together but we die alone.
This is killing me slowly.
Time after time, day after day.
We’re lost and so empty.
There is no cause for celebration so take your dancing shoes off.
Dead dreams, delusions of grandeur.
No such thing as being on top.
This is killing me slowly.
Time after time, day after day.
We’re lost and so empty.
