anaphylaxis

i never knew i was anaphylactic

i took the medicine

it wasn't working

yeah

i needed something less delicate

'cause i can't seem to breathe

and i'm totally nervous again

i gotta confess it was you all along

trying my best to keep my head on

but my heart rate is flying

i think i'm dying

i'm hoping it's all in my head

this isn't a game

i'm not feeling well

my face is aflame

it was starting to swell

it was starting to bloat

and i started freaking out

like i was way too stoned

was it the allergies

or just me being me

or both?

came home from the hospital

hazed out on chemicals

you helped me out of the back of your audi

felt like i'd been kicked in the testicles

electrical shocks ripped through my body again

not again

i'd do anything

shoulda stayed home 'cause i've made a mess of things

i confess

i started panicking

and praying for death

i'd do anything now

my face started to swell

my heart started to pound

and i started freaking out

everything's slowing down

the blood in my ears

it was the only sound

was it the allergies

or something else freaking me out?

musta been weird

but what could ya do?

watching me bottom out as i came unglued

like

am i gonna die?"
