someone's standing on my chest

Singer:atreyu

starving searching this barren wasteland

trying to grasp being this alone

pleading for a breath of fresh air

someone's standing on my chest

dying i'm asphyxiating myself

i kill myself

break myself slave to my weakness choke on my words

oh i'm drowning and i feel so alone

the lights are on and i wish i was home

my lips are screaming pretty nothings

my ears are bleeding for want of words

fuck words i need actions

hope as left me fucking shattered

someone's standing on my chest

alone would be a pleasant change from here

how do you gauge loneliness?

have you ever felt so alone?

it feels like the light will never reach me here

i am choking back my longing for shed tears

so strangulated by my lonesome fears

please don't worry too much

it only hurts when i breathe

it only hurts when i breathe

this only hurts every time i breathe.
