Oxygen (Early Version)

Oxygen
Amen
I cannot breathe
Again

Oxygen
Come in
Burn my lungs
Be my friend
Come in

Well it's hard to get air
When your neck is a fist
And it's hard to walk a stair
When your leg will not lift
It's hard to stay alive
Stuffed with cold clay inside
It's hard to control your own mind
When there's nowhere left to hide
From the fact you can't breathe
Through a hole that is closed
From the panic now growing
Like an oily black smoke

Oh oxygen
Please come in
I can see the blue sky
Just up ahead
But it's sticky and thick
And it's true color?
It is red

Hey there, dog man
Now I drink from your bowl
Hey there, Mr. Skull
I'm not scared of your call
Gonna go outside
I'll go out in the snow
Gonna rip off my skin
Gonna burn up my clothes
Gonna read my own bones
I'll dance and I'll spin
I'll cut a clean hole through solid air and I'll steal all the oxygen
And my father will guide me up a road to the sky
With my mother beside me, my last breath will expire

Oxygen!
Oxygen!
Amen
Amen
I cannot breathe
Again

My old friend
Goodbye
I give up
Now I finally decide
I am free of your grip
I refuse to even try
I refuse to even try
I will not open these lips
