Suffocation

I'm screaming, I'm clawing... 
I'm not breathing, I'm falling
Can’t anyone see I'm suffocating?

I'm lunging, I'm grasping
In this dungeon I'm gasping...
Can't anyone see I'm suffocating?

Must I shout, must I yell?
To be moved from this cell?
Help me away from this emaciation,
Can you save my lungs from suffocation?

I'm fearful, I'm dismal 
I'm still tearful, my anger abysmal
Can't anyone see I'm suffocating?

Must I tear, must I screech?
Pull my hair, and make a speech?
Take me away from this desolation
Don't let me die from my suffocation...
