Countdown

Half awake on the floor
Lost a war
Mitigate the affront
More than once
Relish the rewrite
And hold on tight

In the air; in the sea
Inside of me
I declare I don't know
It's just for show
Affirm that you're alive
By taking a dive

Mathematic proof
I can see it all
The rising and the fall
But I am not convinced
Just because it's true

In my lungs they abound
They're all around
Everyone gets a chance
To take a glance
Pretend that you're prepared
To run out of air
