lyrics

Awake but not aware, fluorescence floods my view.
Blinded, this inconvenience masks the realization of my circumstance.

Cloud-like figures shift above me, murmuring in neutral tones.
A ghostly chill in my core rends this dream into a grim reality.

Masked faces veil the light.
I can’t gasp a single word.
Every muscle paralyzed.
A high pitched whine is heard.

All at once a searing pain is felt, as flesh becomes one with steel and bone.
I am helpless to cease this marriage, as every nerve screams…

This can’t be happening,
I scream inside my brain.
Trapped inside this cage of flesh.
No means to signal pain.

Heavy steel hands are forced inside, the fresh wound and expanded.
Wider and tighter and wider and tighter.
The chill air of the small room rushes into my open chamber.

The rib cage split wide open, bones bending right to their limits.
Stretching and cracking and stretching and cracking.
The feeling as my organs grow colder makes me want to fucking vomit.

Laid out like butchered meat, tubes are attached.
The pounding beat of my heart dies like a burning match.

I overhear a voice.
“I’m not prepared for this.”

“There’s no turning back now,
Just give it your best shot.”

Clamps are applied, a scalpel descends.
Slicing the vital ties, with a shaky hand.

The scent of burning flesh assails my nostrils.
The pain is indescribable.
One last pull and it’s all over.

A noise is heard
Panic Takes hold
as the pump breaks
and kills all hope
of my success.

My blood stops flowing
Soon my brain will die
There is no hope left
I don’t want it to
end…

Vital signs dropping,
My organs shut down.

Mechanical failure, doomed this procedure.
The outdated equipment had less life left in it than I

Old habits die hard…

and so do patients.

Pitch black, I feel the hands of death pull me closer.
Dizziness gives way to nothingness,
as I cease…
