Death grip
Around my throat
Heart pounding
At the end of my rope
Ten tons
Laying on my chest
How can it be
That I’ve imagined this?
Night falls
But I can’t go down
Endless thoughts
Spinning around and around
In my head
Raise the dead
It’s like I’m buried alive
Dirt walls
Closing in on me
Preacher
Giving a eulogy
In my head
Raise the dead
I’m buried alive every night.
Eyes wide
Staring into a pine box
Heart racing through time
On a death clock
No air
Can’t catch any breath
Face to face
With the moment of death
Kick, shout
Let me out
Too young to die
Yet, here I lie
Is it a rebirth?
Taste the damp earth
In a cold dark womb
Night falls
But I can’t go down
Endless thoughts
Spinning around and around
In my head
Raise the dead
It’s like I’m buried alive
Dirt walls
Closing in on me
Preacher
Giving a eulogy
In my head
Raise the dead
I’m buried alive every night.
