5,4,3,2,1

I see them in everything
they're invisible with no form
My body is touched by feelings
it makes my skin crawl
I hear their whispers unending 
yet silence is their voice
I breathe deeply but smell nothing
It is the sense of death
I can taste only dry metal
or at least I thought
They make me count the experience
to try to keep me calm
Calm...
To try to keep me calm
they make me count the experience 
Or at least I thought
I can taste only dry metal 
It is the sense of death
I breathe deeply but smell nothing 
Yet silence is their voice
I hear their whispers unending 
It makes my skin crawl
my body is touched by feelings 
They're invisible with no form
I see them in everything
