[Verse 1: Asymptote]
What I saw was
Broken gla** on the sidewalk
Should I even ask about it?
Restless nights for a dreamer
Talker and screamer
Probably an axe about it
Sleepless nights with a fever
So hot, drenched in sweat, so wet
One hundred three degrees
The thermometer reads more stress for me
No rest for a dreamer
What do I see? Shadows on the walls
Demons on the ceiling
And the lights through my window doesn't help at all
Red LED's scream
4:00AM, 6:00AM, 8:00AM
Please, wait!
Time keeps on slipping
Seconds keep on ticking
Hours keep on dripping
Can't track the days
Weeks never stop
The years so relentless
And the work set on top set me off
Now I'm done
Resting in my d**h bed
What have I become?
Just another workaholic
Just another workaholic
[Verse 2:Asymptote]
I never gave up, so I never sat down
Never really had the time
I should have paid more attention to my health
Read the obvious signs
I made the obvious cries
Eyes, full of empty lies
You would need to pry hard
To open wide to see the bones inside
The flesh I use to hide
The lips to hold these notions in a cage
Capture these emotions in a gla** bottle
And dubbed it rage
Just make it stop
That's all I'd ask for if and when I ever prayed
That will be the day...
[Verse 3: Asymptote]
Shivers down my spine
Layed out on the couch
I've got ten blankets over me
With the Heater cranked up
Around eighty-five, ninety
Face of gla** beads
And I'm Shining like a diamond
But I've never looked worse
Migraine, dims the lights
Beat me to the end
POUNDING POUNDING
Every sound, beating of a dead horse
Throats coarse, and limbs ache
Eyes sore, for f**s sake
What's come over me?
Stomach churning constantly
Doctor what's your diagnosis? Please!!
Just Gimme a gun, I can't take it
That, or hurry back and grab me the vaccine
Because another moment of this vicious sickness
Is the only suicide note that I need
Just sweat it out, sweat it out, sweat it out
The only treatment I receive
Because everybody has illnesses
This is a truth that I've come to perceive
Mind racing, heart pacing, faster, gather speed
Heart monitor beep (beep), Hasten the IV (V)
Illusions, hallucinations, flicker of the Lightning
Momentary flutter of my vision, refreshing yet frightening
I never thought this is where my d**h bed would be
Brought to me in my home
Special delivery
Sent by the flu? Or reality?
