As I enter, smoke in my eyes Windows of fate flutter in disguise Heaven waits for me to stay Not a moment more to delay The smoke gets thicker, hard to breathe As I struggle for air beneath The cakes of soot roll down my brow There is no escape now So there I am, lying in wait Have to try and save my fate I can't even show a frown When there's no one around As the breaths draw ever shorter I can't even remember The light seemed to get farther away Everything else just the same So here I stay, eyes closing Wondering what else I could think Not a lot, oxygen is low Soon I would be alone It's now dark and sight unseen Perhaps there are no more dreams Why am I still talking, I shouldn't be Death comes swiftly, normally Maybe my time hasn't come yet Maybe I should wake up, try again But it's eerily silent, not a peep Numb is all I can feel So that's it then, I presume Off to the great white garden soon See the stars, worlds apart Somewhere else much too far |
