Lungs
It's despicable
Lies
All around me
Breathing down my neck
It's like I've never lived before
Why can't I
Live for myself
And I don't know
Why
Do I suffocate
The dust is choking
But it's the only way that I can
Breathe
So controlling
Comforting
Insight
All around me
Still can't seem
To find the reason for my dying
Because I
Live for myself
Must I stop my lungs from breathing
Oh, unrest in my soul
Living for the world
Never satisfies
Is nothing
