Hurt Body

On the first watching
As the clock keeps ticking
The windows are launching
Open breezes yet sticking, Hurt Body
   Struck to my chest
My last breathe
Into my throat
I'm coking on oceans of saliva
While on my quest floating boat
Head is clear like a new revival, Hurt Body
   And on the second watch
My heart beat stops
I'm in a trance
Feet swollen let I still dance, Hurt Body
   Frozen lung can't breathe
Windows yet smudged and dirty can't see
Coughing now throwing up
Expelling my life juices into the valley below
Temperature drops frozen cold
My heart yet beats surrounded by the snow, Hurt Body
 Hurt Body
