Breathing is hard 

When you're

Struggling to see

The lack of honesty

Policy-

Dropping me off

Far from the start 

And my heart 

Beating faster, faster-

And my lungs

Trying to capture, capture-

Simple oxygen-

Box it in.

Use it before

Losing it and lock it in,

Heard the din

And your bones

Cracking a fracture, fracture-

Rapture, the new god is here,

Fact or,

Fiction!

Got us here?

Lost us near?

Dropped us 

Far from the start

And our hearts 

Beating faster, faster?

Breathing is hard,

When you're trying to see

The lack of 

Honesty

Policy

Tossing verbal stones

At these

Throats I seize?

What do you see?

Feel the breeze?

Before the storm

Comes

Born from a swarm 

Of

Anxieties?

Drop to your knees.

Hands above your head,

Swore I were dead?

Life hanging by a thread?

Conciousness,

Pled for mercy?

Dread the life this has become-

Bled at the flesh ripped open

By stress?
