I recall getting rolled down the hall like it’s nothing at all
is this real and how far did I fall?
it felt like sleep under water
the blanket muffled the sound
I’m pretty sure I was left there for hours
in a tangle of cables and wires
with a spike sticking out of my arm and countless alarms
I began to consider reform
and then I thought...
I have to say goodbye
I gotta stay inside
my heart is failing
but it still knows how to pound
think it’s going to kill me
beware the next round
it may all been soaked in lies
but there’s truth if you break it down
my heart is failing
but it sure knows how to pound
think it’s going to kill me
where’s the next round?
it’s why I had to crawl away
it’s why I have a hospital gown
it may all been soaked in lies
but there’s truth if you break it down
