They never stop
The pressure grows as my vision blurs
With hope, this will cease
A new day to come will bring relief
In the presence of a man in white
Seeking answers for the beast that never sleeps
The dim light as bright as the sun
The whispers as loud as shrieks
The man returns
Wearing a face of distress
His panic sweeps across the room
I still hear his curse
"We found something"
A sentencing of least desire
Denial sets in (as the room starts to spiral)
The fray begins
As I grasp for hope
Oh, what an awful thing
Do you know what it's like
Fighting for your life
Against your own body?
Terrifying
Oh, what I wouldn't give for
A sense of reassurance
The affliction floods my veins
Drowning myself from the inside out
A theater so unnerving
A light shines from above
The man in white appears again
As the room fades to black
Oh, and I'll drift away
The demons that plagued my soul
Are now too far
Beyond their reach
And as I wait inside my consciousness
Anxiety howls, "will I ever wake?"
It's like the weight has been
Dissolved into the air
The safety that I yearned for
Now in the palm of my hand
Patience is a virtue
Worth its weight in gold
It'll give you the strength to
Weather the storm
Eight months of chemical torture
Six times going under the knife
Ten months of precious time
But in the end, I prevailed
I am invincible
You can't kill me
