Medulla

Being tossed and forsaken
Has left me with a truth
That my body betrays me

Why do I have to come to

And on and on it goes
The burden never easing
I hold my breath even though
My brain won't let me stop breathing

I got nothing to show
And I gave it up for a reason
I hold my breath even though
These scars will never stop bleeding

If the house is burning down
I'm not trying to get out
To get out
